	And that should be the problem. :-)

wins support (G)
       This  boolean  controls if the nmbd(8) process in Samba will act
       as a WINS server. You should not set this to yes unless you have
       a  multi-subnetted  network and you wish a particular nmbd to be
       your WINS server. Note that you should NEVER set this to yes  on
       more than one machine in your network.

       Default: wins support = no

	Try to fix the 'wins support' parameter.
