Depends on your setup. If the firewall and samba reside on the same machine, then it is possible for the firewall rules to be blocking it. It could also mean that the WINS service isn't running on any other servers on the network. 2000/2003 don't require WINS to be running, so if you didn't enable WINS manually then you'd need to do that.
firewall and samba are on the same box, i did enabled wins service.
