Actually if I go to Windows and do

ping <Windows Host Name>

it works, and if I do

ping <Linux Laptop Name>

it works too.

IMHO I think that most,  if not all, Ubuntu users will sooner or later
plug their laptop into a LAN and they will expect to see other PCs,
hence this bug somehow will need to be addressed either fixing winbind
or with some other voodoo.

I think this is such a basic feature that WON'T FIX is inappropriate
