Note that browsing (seeing the workgroup, being able to list other machines)
is separate from name resolution (hostname -> IP address). WINS only gives
you the latter.
Windows browsing information can generally not cross subnets unless you are
on a domain, you have a special browse master machine on each subnet
(configured to sync to each other), or you do special magic to the broadcast
packets.
