You don't need 2-4, if you are running and nt based
domain.

man smb.conf:
       wins server (G)
              This specifies the IP  address  (or  DNS  name:  IP
              address  for  preference)  of  the WINS server that
              nmbd(8)should register with. If  you  have  a  WINS
              server  on your network then you should set this to
              the WINS server's IP.

  wins server = <ip of your nt wins server>

Just told this samba machine to play in the same arena.

1. Do you restart samba after the config change?

2. Do NOT set "wins support = yes"!

	man smb.conf
		   wins support (G)
				  This  boolean  controls  if  the  nmbd(8)process in
				  Samba will act as a WINS server. You should not set
				  this to true unless you have a multi-subnetted net?
				  work and you wish a particular nmbd to be your WINS
				  server.   Note  that  you  should NEVER set this to
							^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				  true on more than one machine in your network.
				  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

				  Default: wins support = no

No other suggetions.
