[Samba] Can't find samba server after new NIC installed

Hi All,

	Perhaps you guys can help me shed some light on this 'problem' I'm
facing.

I recently added another NIC to my samba server. eth0(10.0.0.251) and
eth1(valid dhcp address)
ETH0 was added to connect to another PC that acts as the backup server.
(dedicated connection)

Now, Samba won't come back up.. I can still ssh into the server and all.

Any ideas? I know that the wins needs up to 45mins for the announcement to
work.. but even using ip address on windows (as in
start->run->\\eth1-ip-add) does not work. (windows gives the error - No
Service is operating at the destination network endpoint on the remote
system)

I've added 
interfaces = eth1
wins server = ipaddress of windows network wins server

  find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
  Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name MY<1b> for the workgroup MY.
  Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.

After putting log level = 10, I find this

        MY(1) current master browser = UNKNOWN
                eth1-name 40019a03 (server comment)

Usually, (before this issue), samba is able to get the current master
browser...(and before, I never even put in the wins server ipaddress and it
works!)

HELP me please..
