Multiple login failures problem

I was concerned with this being a problem here, but it hasn't surfaced
and I think David may have it right.  My SAMBA box handles DHCP, WINS,
and DOMAIN LOGONS, and my Win98 clients quickly connect without a
problem.  Something must be broken in the M$ version of WINS <grin>

Agreed.  But are you running WINS anywhere?
If not, you might want to consider having Samba run it,
and have your pc's point to it as their WINS server also.
I'd be willing to be that would fix it as well (provided
of course that you set your 'name resolve order' in
smb.conf to have 'wins' as it's first method).
