Somewhat off Topic:

On my Home LAN all the computers (5) are in the same File and Printer
sharing Workgroup. WINS is forced to enabled. I have no server and they
are not in a domain. Is there any reason why the Computer Browser Service
is running on all of them? Should it run on any of them? Does it make any
difference?
