And running  the command "nmblookup machinename" it should give it 
something like this:

#nmblookup machinename
querying machinename on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.22 machinename<00>
#

did you have on your smb.conf any of this parameters?
dns proxy
wins proxy
wins server
wins support

anyway, I think your problem must be related to winbind, not wins, 
because I think you don't have any wins server  in your network. Is that 
right?  Is winbind daemond running? something remarkable on log files? 
increase verbose level of logs if not, and please, give more specs about 
your system and network configuration. clients  work properly? what are 
the OS of clients? some firewall update on smb server? Did you have try 
to downgrade to check if working?
