    Ok

    In most case, but you may have a dhcp server for your windows stations
    that update a DNS server (dynamic dns protocol), or your windows station
    may update the DNS (option in the windows advanced network
    configuration).

    However in most case the network only use netbios with broacast.

    No, netbios may use broacast announce and browsing, wich are limited to
    le lan segment. So not propagate between the two lan (dmz and other).

    Netbios may also use a "central" server named a WINS (windows name
    server) which collect an list all stations and servers. In that case,
    all stations and servers must be configured to use (register+browse) the
    same WINS (2 in general). In that cas the browse list may collect and
    serves many lan segments.

    Yes.

    Not sure for W98. I think there is a WINS option in the network
    configuration.
     
    > As I don't specifically want to browse, rather just map directly to a
    > specific machine, do I still need to set up WINS?

    If the specifif machines has a fixed ip, use its IP in the mount command
    line.

    And then you don't need to bother about all this netbios browsing stuff.
