Sorry for not studying your OP well enough.
Well, this obviously recurs to another question you have already finalized, but which does not seem to produce the required effects. In that case, it would be advisable to ask your question inside the respective old thread, because experts' solutions are expected to work, and if they don't the expert needs to improve them.
You could also post a link to the present thread in the old one, or specify a "related question" when posting the new question, which will send a notification about the new thread to all experts who participated in the old one.

Sir, when i try with nmblookup -A <ipaddress> iam getting the detailed log which gives all , hostname , mac address etc. good. but when executed the nmblookup with ipaddress or nmblookup with -B and ipaddress iam getting other hosts details but for one host winxp which is a memeber of this domain. (iam not this winodws xp system listed) please find previously attached nmblookup.dc and help me why is this is there any changes to be done on smb.conf , have attached the smb.conf as well. Please help
If nmblookup works fine with all hosts except one then this obviously means that Samba is configured correctly, but the one problematic host probably is not. So its not the smb.conf on the server that needs checking, but the client configuration on that computer (192.168.1.233).
Are you sure its configuration is identical to the others? Are there firewalls maybe which could block the name lookup? Can the problematic host be queried and addressed from other machines in the network?
I'm sorry, but I don't have more time to look into this today. It's sunday, and I'm on my way to see my family.

In the output, look for "inet addr" and "hw addr" of your networking device
