When you reboot which system? PDC or client?

1)If you're rebooting your server:

That is the reason. Don't reboot your WINS server, it stops the windows
machines from being able to easily locate machines. If you have rebooted
your WINS server, reboot the machines that can't log in, or log into
them with a local account and restart the "Computer Browser" or similar
service.

Why do you need to reboot your server anyway?

2)If you mean rebooting the client, are the clients configured to use
the machine above as WINS server? If not, this is your problem. All the
machines in your domain should use the same WINS server.
