Dual samba servers and Win2k and browsing?

In case anyone was interested in my problem, I didn't get any
responses from this list, but continued to bang my head for the next few 
hours and found the problem. 

I turned off WINS on my experimental server and everything
worked out.  Since we're migrating our Windoze machines to Win2k,
we won't be needing WINS anyway.

-> 
-> HEllo:
-> 
-> I have a 2.2.1 Samba server set up and in operation on our network (Solaris 
7)
-> I am TRYING to experiment with a different configuration, using Samba as a 
-> PDC for our up-and-coming Win2K conversion, so I have
-> a second, experimental, 2.2.2 samba server set up on the same network.
-> 
-> As I said, I am trying to make the experimental server be a PDC for Win2k
-> machines  The first server is just using workgroups and serves our existing
-> Win98 machines.
-> 
-> 
-> I *think* I have some sort of browse(?) conflict going on between the 
-> two servers.
-> 
-> 
-> Here is data to identify the computers involved
-> 
->    The operational server has netbios name HAOSERVER, on host 128.117.16.5)
->     and it serves workgroup "HAO"
->     
->    The experimental server has netbios name BOB (host 128.117.16.39) and it
->     serves domain "SAMBA2"
->     
->    The Win2k client I try to connect to BOB (SAMBA2 domain) is 128.117.16.205
->    
-> 
-> Here are the problems I experience:
-> 
-> * I can't get a Win2k machine to join the domain of my experimental server
->      (although I think I am doing this right since I did this months ago 
->      when I just had ONE server running!).
->   When I try to join the Win2k computer to the new, experimental domain,
->   I get the message "The specified domain either does not exist or 
->   could not be contacted."  However, on the Win2k machine, I can indeed
->   SEE the domain when I go to My Network Places and click on "Entire
->   Network," so I know that the network connectivity is fine.  I can even
->   click on that icon and get to resources that I have shared there--
->   logging in as "root" and with the password that I have listed in 
->   the smbpasswd file, so I know that that is working ok.
->   
-> * I get some funny messages in the nmbd.log of the experimental server 
->   which repeat over and over (I get also other funny stuff, but I'm
->   trying to be selective about what part of the nmbd.log file I send):
