What ever works.  But, I disagree with the above statement.  The 
function of WINS is to NetBIOS as DNS is to the Internet.  As longs as 
all computers are registering with a single WINS server, any computer 
can resolve names using that WINS server.

NetBIOS doesn't work across subnets because routers by default do not 
forward broadcasts.
