[Samba] domain/WINS problem

[Vincent Fonteneau]

I'm not expert with WINS server but i've worked on for few days.

Buy looking to your log message you could see the 
wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out error.
How have you configured the Wins server in the smb.conf, seems to be on 
127.0.0.1 ?
Using samba as wins server by setting : wins support = yes
using samba as wins client by setting : wins server = <ip address wins 
server>

Maybe is it possible that nmbd using only lo for listing interface ?
