Try setting up the Samba server as a WINS server and having the Win clients 
register with the Samba WINS server.  Everything should work that way.

I don't remember the smb.conf directives, but you can find them in the man 
page.  Look for something like "wins server" and "master browser" and set them 
to 'yes' or 'true'.  Make sure that you don't have any other master browsers 
or wins servers though.
