On the Samba PDC:
Try adding something like this to your global section:
==================================
interfaces = eth0, 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
==================================
Using your interfaces and IP addresses. If any IP aliases are being used use 
the IP addresses for "interfaces =" (ex: 127.0.0.1) instead of device names 
(eth0).

On the client:
Set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
  IsDomainMaster False
