OK....  Except, don't you want `password server = pluto,pdcserver'?

It may help to specify `interfaces = 128.173.188.30,192.168.1.1'
explicitly.

What is your `name resolve order' parameter?  Make sure it lists
LMHOSTS before WINS.  (To look up the defaults on parameters you
haven't specified, `testparm -s | grep' is your friend.)

Migrate to DHCP!  I say this only partly in jest.  DHCP is pretty much
essential for long-term management of a network of a decent size.
Changing things like WINS servers becomes very easy, then.
