It occurred also to me, with a 100% win2000 (PDC and WS) network:
wins is based on broadcasts. so these does not passed the routers, and
yes, they need some time to propagate, even 4 or more hours !
the way i resolved was this:
first open a share on the PDC, calling it with the IP.
This will of course authenticate since it must know who is the PDC and
has not to resort on any NS resolution.
Then log on the other server.

since you have no idea on what part of the message you are replying to.
of course is a worse idea to quote the entire message, either top or
bottom.
