[Samba] Domain unavaliable

[James Kreuziger]

All the WINS server parametes are set correctly on
all the machines.  I just finished checking them. I've
also got lmhosts enabled, and I need to check that
the entries in that file are correct.  I'm sure they
are, as I made a new one and imported it to all the
machines just before we shutdown for the move.
