Samba supports acting as wins server. It should be enought to install
samba (apt-get install samba) and insert/uncomment wins support=yes in
/etc/smb.conf. be aware that this installs a smb-Fileserver as well, so
you should remove the exports if you don't need them. (if i remind
correctly this will change in Samba 2.2)
