The listening ports ar good.
When I run the smbclient, my linux system shows as the master for the
ABCBSNET workgroup.
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
ABCBS-ACTUARIAL ACTUARIAL-BASE
ABCBSIVR
ABCBSNET LINUX3 <---- I would expect this
to be my WINS server
BCBSAR LRD1DATAMOVER1
BRDFIREWALL BRD1PRX1
DS LRD1DS1
DSDEV LRD1DS5
EMC BLAST1
EXTDNS DNS1
FISNTGROUP ACTUARIAL_BDC2
LABNET BRD1PDC1
PHRECNET LRD1UNIFY1
PRINTSHOP EX2000
TANT-A01 EVEJA02A
WORKGROUP ACCESSMACH
I changed the local master value to no, but it made no difference. Any
options I need to change to correct this.
My Wins server is win2000.

Is it actually listening on the relevant ports? Run as root:
netstat -nlup |grep 13[78]
And see if you see a process "nmbd" on both port 137 and port 138 (this
is udp).
Try connecting from your system:
smbclient -L linux3 -U %
('-U %' is for guest login)
Alternatively, you may need to login with a valid user.
What OS exactly is the wins server? Is it part of a domain?
Try increasing the debug value in smb.conf, and then go again through
the logs.
And as a last resort: try stopping the nmbd, and running it manually.
See with what switches it runs (use ps auxww|grep nmb), remove the option
'-D' and add '-i'.
See if it throws any really nasty warnings about not being able to write
logs file and thus quiting (or whatever).
