That is not the workgroup name, it's a substitute.  Reason?  Long story, not

OK - so do you suggest that I have 'wins support = true' AND 'wins server = 
192.168.0.30' (the samba server IP)?

Other boxes have OS level set to 33 and the server was set to 66, though when

was taken out.  I'll put it back in.
