You can start to look if the server really registered the types 1b, 1c

Don't use a log level = 10 unless really needed, a log level of 2
(preferred) or even 3 is enough to see almost all common problems.
It should have 1c and 1b in wins.dat and nmbd.log should say what was
the result of the elections (or if you are having any master browser
war).
nmblookup can be used locally to query the WINS server or make a
broadcast query to see who is what.
nmblookup -R -U 10.8.3.37 ADAMSTEST#1B (query the wins about DMB)
nmblookup -R -U 10.8.3.37 ADAMSTEST#1C (query the wins about DCs)
nmblookup -M ADAMSTEST (query by broadcast about LMBs)
On the client you can use ipconfig /all to se if it is really using a
WINS server, the node type, if NetBIOS over Tcpip is disabled, etc.
Windows have its own tools to test lookups too.

Thanks, that gave me an error "name_query failed to find name gomer".
Now I see on gomer that nmbd is not running. i'm using the fedora
supplied rpms:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# rpm -qa|grep samba
samba-client-3.0.26a-6.fc8
system-config-samba-1.2.58-1.fc8
samba-common-3.0.26a-6.fc8
samba-3.0.26a-6.fc8
and when i cat the samba start up script, nmbd is not found:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb |grep nmb
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]#
when I start nbmd -D manually, then it prompts me for my username/passwd
to join the domain.
So, I will upgrade to the official samba.org rpms.
