First you have to answer:
You want to start samba as daemon?
If you plan to start it as daemon, make sure that in your
/etc/inet.conf is _no_ line to startup smbd/nmbd!
Second to answer:
Is there a already running wins server in your lan?
The samba doc told, that if you run an nt/w2k server, you have to use
_this_ wins service.
The nmbd of samba is able to communicate with them. Your smb.conf should
have this entry:
---schnipp---
[global]
wins server = ipadress_of_your_wins_server
---schnapp---
and everything should be ok.
If your samba is the preferred wins server, than you have to make
this entries to your smb.conf:
---schnipp---
[global]
wins support = yes
---schnapp---
Both options exclude the other one!
Take a look in BROWSING.TXT of your samba setup.
