in smb.conf
wins support = Yes
Don't set
wins server = ....
I don't think the nsswitch.conf is an issue- it seems like the client
has trouble finding the server. Are you using dhcp? If so, the DHCP
server (even a unix one) should be able to assign WINS. If you are not
using dhcp, or if your dhcp server can not assign wins, you can
statically set it on the XP client.

Looks like a browsing problem to me. Try to reconnect using ip
address
instead of name.

Are you using WINS? I find that makes a lot of issues go away.
I have wins support enabled in Samba and the following lines in
nsswitch.conf:
debug 1
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts: files wins dns
bootparams: files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files
services: files
netgroup: files ldap
publickey: files
automount: files ldap
aliases: files
Is that all there is to enabling WINS?
