Never use both "wins server" and "wins support" at the same time.  When you
specify a "wins server", you are telling Samba to go somewhere else to get
it's WINS data.  When you tell it "wins support = Yes", you are telling
Samba to be the WINS server.  Just remove the "wins support" entry from
your config, then point your clients to the IP address of your Samba
server.

That should do the trick for you.
