So you suggest assign static IPs to all the computers in the network, edit the hosts file, and remove Windbind?

Sorry, I've been trying to find an alternative solution for you. I have not been very successful.
Have you tried manually assigning DNS servers like opendns: https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu
If that doesn't work, then yes, my best suggestion for you is to use static IP addresses, configure /etc/hosts, and remove winbind.
1) Samba server howto | 2) mount windows/samba shares with CIFS + unicode | 3) best FTP server howto
4) NFS server/client howto | 5) Easy cross-platform LAN file sharing with FTP
6) Fix samba browsing!!! | 7) Fix Pulse audio
Happy Ubunting!
I tried OpenDNS and the problem persisted, so I set up static IPs and removed Winbind. Worked like a charm, thank you for your help!
I think it would be great if there's a way to eliminate the slow domain name resolution and at the same time give the ability to browse win shares!

Hi, this is exactly the same problem I have, although I'm trying to connect to a Windows XP machine from ubuntu 9.10. It worked flawlessly from my old debian machine to the same Windowsmachine, so the problem lies somewhere in ubuntu.
Did you ever get this resolved?

Dmizer, I need your help please. On my home network I've gor 4 pcs:
PC A is a Vista laptop
PC B is an XP laptop
PC C is a Win7 PC with a shared printer
PC D is dual boot XP and Ubuntu 9.10 PC
If I boot D in XP then all 4 PCs can see and access one another and the printer. If I boot D in ubuntu then A, B and C can access the shares on Ubuntu D and Ubuntu D can access shared folders on A and B. However if I try to access C (Win 7) I keep getting a log in dialogue but it won't accept the password. Same if I try to access the printer from Ubuntu D
I've worked my way through your suggestions under your sig, changing WORKGROUP name etc, but no change.
Have you any other suggestions? (I'm new to ubuntu so easy suggestions best!)
Thanks
FIXED
Found another link - removed Windows live ID assistant from Win 7 and now Ubuntu sees the shares!!!
Finally... just came around to check if there was a solution and Bingo!... Removing the Windows Live ID Sign-in assistant solved my problem.
Thanks for the pointer dmizer
I did not look at the details of the bug. Is this bug something that will "eventually" be fixed by Samba developers or is this an issue on the Windows 7 side?
