RFC1001 [1] WINS, which is what Microsoft implement [2], is an application
level protocol that uses TCP or UDP, therefore there is no such notion
that netfilter does or doesn't "support" it. It uses ports the same as
any other protocol so can be filtered in exactly the same way.

It is true that the Wins peer discovery protocol operates by network
broadcasts and therefore does not traverse routers.
If you know the IP address of a machine you wish to connect to, however, then
you can do this across as many routers as you like.
The relevance to netfilter is that netfilter is generally used on a routing
Linux machine.
Hope this helps,
Antony.
