I already used samba in network with more than one segment and never
needed any "remote ..." option too, it worked even through a VPN. The
samba books says to use that options when more than one WINS server are
used, for example. Using the same WINS server in both networks, the name
registration is already made in unicast, and it should pass through a
router.
Right, this is just one WINS server, so it should "just work". Like I
said, I know I had it all working at one point without the remote
options, and I don't think the network topology was significantly
different back then.
Have you looked inside wins.dat and browse.dat on the samba server to
see if is everything there? You said that you have already tested with
nblookup (maybe looking there doesnt make sense then), but I think its
easyer to see what your WINS server has to offer, what are the available
resources and if theres any name that shouldnt be registered there that
way.
browse.dat shows only the server, not the desktop - which is the
problem, the browse lists aren't syncing...
"SOPHROSUNE" c0001000 "ARISTOTLE" "SOPHROSUNE"
"ARISTOTLE" 400d9b0b "Server" "SOPHROSUNE"
wins.dat shows...

Which shows at least that timaeus is properly registered. I can never
keep the meanings of the other bits straight...
nbtstat -r, on the client shows that the names are really beeing
resolved by the name server (WINS)?
nbtstat -r shows 0 names resolved/registered by broadcast, 2 names
resolved by the name server, and 6 names registered by the name server.
Sure looks like everything should work, doesn't it? :)
