[CentOS] Adding samba clients to samba server

I have an application that requires the use of netbios names instead of IP 
addresses, and the company that produces the application says that's the 
way it is.

I have a Windows XP machines running the application, and I want to add it 
to a domain controller.   I have a Centos 5 machine onto which I've 
installed Samba and configured it to be a DC.   I now want to add a couple 
linux workstations, also running samba, to this domain controller as 
workstations.   I've done this millions of times under Windows, but never 
added a samba client to a samba server/dc.

How do I do so?

It is my hope that this will permit me to then use the application, as 
I'll have added the XP machine to the Samba DC, too, thus hoping netbios 
names work properly.

Thanks.
