[Samba] Samba disappears when bridging

I've had a working samba setup on debian testing, viewing shares from my winxp box, for quite a while. I've just set up another box as a wireless access point, and am bridging the wireless and wired networks. When connecting via wireless (i.e. through the bridge) I'm unable to get any samba connectivity. I can ping, ssh, use imap etc fine through the wireless, but not samba.

Here's the output from nbtstat -A 192.168.0.64 (my samba box, called "debian") (after refreshing the cache): Wireless Network Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.66] Scope Id: [] NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table Name Type Status --------------------------------------------- DEBIAN <00> UNIQUE Registered DEBIAN <03> UNIQUE Registered DEBIAN <20> UNIQUE Registered ..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered

MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00

Someone on the debian-user list suggested setting up my samba box as a wins server, which I did (added wins support = yes): here's my smb.conf file:

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
       panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
       workgroup = WORKGROUP
       encrypt passwords = true
  passdb backend = smbpasswd guest

  wins support = yes
[homes]
       browsable = no
       writable = yes

[downloads]
       comment = Download area
       path = /home/downloads
       browsable = yes
       writable = yes
       valid users = james

When I reconnect via the wired interface on my xp box (I'm trying to migrate to wireless!) , everything works. I've got the same IP on the winxp box when both wired and wireless.

Can anyone help me? Thanks very much in advance

James
