[Samba] NBNS registration issue : no response, invalid request format

Wed Jun 28 08:16:20 GMT 2006

I try to join a Win 2K machine to my samba 3.0.22 domain.
The server must act as a PDC.
shares are working correctly, and every troubleshooting steps from 
chapter 37 from the Samba HOWTO guide also.
I have some trouble :

Here is the log from  nmbd.log of what I think is th request send when 
trying to join the domain (DIAMOND is the name of my 
domain,192.168.2.150 is the IP address of the client and 192.168.2.138 
is the IP address of the samba server)
[2006/06/28 09:47:40, 3] 
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(454)
  process_name_query_request: Name query from 192.168.2.150 on subnet 
192.168.2.138 for name DIAMOND<1c>

I see also in the log the following message (CETIC1 is the name of the 
workgroup)
[2006/06/28 09:55:08, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(172)
  process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request 
received for name CETIC1<00> from IP 192.168.2.150 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
[2006/06/28 09:55:08, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(173)
  Error - should be sent to WINS server

The server has several interfaces. The test machine is on connected on 
one of the NIC (subnet 192.168.2.0/24)
and the server is connected to the whole LAN with the other NIC (subnet 
192.168.0.0/24)
On the whole LAN ,there is a Win 2K PDC and a Samba server acting as a 
domain member of the domain CETIC

What am I doing wrong ?

Here is my smb.conf
