Background:
I have 2 SMB Servers; one is configured to be the Preferred Master
(fserver), the other (upstairs) is configured to just share some files.
I want it to connect and update the WINS configuration on the Preferred
Master. Configuration files for both servers are attached.
Also worth mentioning that both the 'fserver' and 'upstairs' reside on
the same network.
Some basic system information probably worth mentioning:

on 'fserver' (the main samba server) and 'upstairs' I see the following
output:
<snip id='fserver,upstairs'>
[root@fserver ~]# smbtree -N

This is 'mostly' correct... I want to see entries like : \\UPSTAIRS\...
[root@fserver ~]# nmblookup fserver

</snip>
Neither server can resolve the Netbios name 'upstairs', but i can easily
access it via IP. What configuration snip am i missing so windows hosts
can browse this? It almost seems like the 'fserver' (Also the WINS
Server) is not caching 'upstairs' when it broadcasts.

[root@fserver ~]# nmblookup upstairs
querying upstairs on 127.255.255.255

On the fserver I see the requests some in and go back out (so it's not a
firewall issue)

I also see broadcasts made by the upstairs machine every so often in the
tcp dump too (192.168.0.62 = upstairs)

In a nutshell... my problem (again):
Why doesn't 'upstairs' (standard SMB server) associate it's Netbios name
with the Master SMB (also configured to use WINS)?
I have no problem mounting these drives by ip address or host name. But
to please the 'windows' users, I just want the 'fserver' to cache the
'upstairs' Netbios name.
## on fserver
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
## on upstairs
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = no
wins support = no
## Same results if i use hostname/ip addr
wins server = fserver.lead2gold.local
## Also tried this without success (i know it's meant more for sub-domains)
remote announce = 192.168.0.255
I hope one of you Samba guru's can help me out! :)
