His problem is WINS resolution doesn't tell the workstations which
computer is the domain controller and that is what he needs to fix
(first by designating a domain controller and then by making sure that
WINS is functioning well).

Thanks for all the help. I agree that WINS seems to be the issue, or atleast it is a place that we can start with to help track down the issue.

Currently 192.168.4.1 is the WINS server. This is necessary because I need cross subnet brownsing between 192.168.6. and 192.168.5. According to the man page for smb.conf only one computer on your network can be a WINS server and this is the computer that all other computers have access to.

That being said 192.168.6. and 192.168.5. are both PDC's for their subnet. All I have done is moved the 192.168.6.1 configuration to a new machine. Replaced that machine. Removed Samba 3.0 and Installed Samba3x.

How do I make sure that 192.168.4.1 recognizes 192.168.6.1 as the ADMIN PDC so that WINS traffic is directed correctly?
