This looks very much like a netbios names resolution problem, which is done 
with broadcasts by default. You should :

-either setup your PDC as a WINS server, and make both the PDC and the Samba 
box aware of this ( wins server = <IP address of PDC>  and name resolve order 
= wins bcast in smb.conf, on the latter)

-either fill in lmhosts files with entries for each netbios name (and type) 
you need, and put resolve order = lmhosts bcast in smb.conf
