You might have already tried this, but make sure client C is set to get its
wins from whichever server has your listed smb.conf. Also, make sure that
the other server has os level=0, preferred master=no,local master = no,
domain master = no, wins support=no, wins server=<the other server>.
In other words, have all server activities stem from one and only one machine.
