If no wins server is available, this would be updated on the master browser.It is sometimes necessary that clients or servers on your network need to reregister their NetBIOS names with a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. Previously, this required restarting the client so that all names associated with that client would be released and reregistered during the startup process.
In Service Pack 4 for Windows NT, a new feature has been added to the Windows NT version of the utility Nbtstat.exe. The -RR parameter will allow Windows NT clients to release their NetBIOS names and reregister them with their WINS server.

How the master browser works
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docu ... pappi.mspx
The Windows 2000 browser system consists of a master browser, backup browsers, and browser clients. The computer that is the master browser maintains the browse list and periodically sends copies to the backup browsers. When a browser client needs information, it obtains the current browse list by remotely sending a NetServerEnum API call to either the master browser or a backup browser.
Download Browser Monitor to see which pc is the master browser.
