I have similar behavior: Samba server with wins unicast resolution, working fine for at least a year, dynamic clients (WinXP, debian etch) in another private net can see the server and clients in all nets. the Wins server IP is passed through dhcpd3 server, and the file /etc/samba/dhcp.conf is actualized ok in the debian etch and in the tester hardy heron 8.04 machine. when the ubuntu machine is in a different net in nautilus samba browser i can see only the broadcasts resolution machine (the same net machines) but are missing all the machines resolves through wins resolution. In this condition when I using:
gnomevfs-ls smb://IP/ or gnomevfs-ls smb://netbios_name/ i can see all the shares of the hosts. (wins and broadcast) but for te commands gnomevfs-ls smb://netbios_name/ or gnomevfs-ls smb://IP/ only works for the IP not for the netbios name (Error opening) when the ubuntu machine is in the same net of the samba server (broadcast resolution) i can see all the machines (includes all another subnets machines) packages in ubuntu: dpkg -l|grep gvfs|awk '{print $2,$3}' gvfs 0.2.5-0ubuntu1 gvfs-backends 0.2.5-0ubuntu1 gvfs-bin 0.2.5-0ubuntu1 gvfs-fuse 0.2.5-0ubuntu1 libgvfscommon0 0.2.5-0ubuntu1 dpkg -l|grep smb|awk '{print $2,$3}' libsmbclient 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 libsmbios1 0.13.10-1ubuntu1 smbclient 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 smbfs 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 dpkg -l|grep nautilus|awk '{print $2,$3}' libnautilus-burn4 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 libnautilus-extension1 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2 nautilus 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2 nautilus-data 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2 nautilus-sendto 0.13.2-0ubuntu1 nautilus-share 0.7.2-0ubuntu5 172.16.20.220$ gvfs-ls dhcp.conf smb.conf gdbcommands 172.16.20.220$ gnomevfs-ls .
