Re: [SQU] Replacing MS Proxy Server with Squid

Vishwanath is correct. For the WINSOCK proxy, the two nodes communicate
via RPC over NETBIOS, over whatever lower layer happens to be there.
Thus the NETBIOS name, not ip name, is important.

WINS _may_ be a factor if TCP/IP is the internal network protocol.
