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.
wins server is not specified in smb.conf. I'm using DHCP but have
never
specified a wins server in the config. I added it explicitly to one
client
and retesting resulting in no change to the issue.
However, I noticed that wbinfo -u|g doesn't return anything, and that
seems
symptomatic of the problem at the very least. I have not determined
why
winbind doesn't work correctly, there isn't anything in my config that
suggests it's broken, yes?
Winbindd isn't the issue for this. Run some nbtstats on the XP boxes:
command prompt:
nbstat -n
nbstat -r
nbstat -c
After a reboot, and connect failure, do so. Then try nbstat -RR and
try net drive connections.
Very peculiar problem you're having.

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?
