[Samba] Bizarre problems with two Samba in the same workgroup

[Pavan]

Hi All,
 
   I am also facing similar problems though not exactly not the same, 
even after having the wins server = yes to only 1 PDC. nmblookup doesnt 
return the domain server ip but all the rest. Now my computers cannot 
even find the domain to which they are added and cannot access network 
resources. Can anyone point to the right solution for this problem.
