I found an interesting link here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=826938 They edited both smb.conf ( name resolve order = lmhosts bcast wins host) Notice this resolve order is different than the one I am using. They also modified nsswitch.conf (hosts: files dns wins) to get name resolution working. I tried that, and although it fixes the name resolution with ping issue, some of the nautilus network browse functions seem to stop. For example, I can't browse my own machine's samba shares. For the time being I have set the smb.conf back to where I had it and returned nsswitch.conf to it's default as well.
