If you have actually installed and configured WINS on your NT box, then
goto:
Start->Programs->Administration Tools->WINS Manager
Under the Mappings menu... select Show Database.

If should contain the LAN addresses allowed to access this server.
i.e. hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1

NO!!!!! The hosts allow in the smb.conf only applies to smb requests, not
ping, which is only 5 layers below in the Network OSI model. In other
words, Netbios is an encapsulated TCP/IP packet. It requires a functional
TCP/IP stack.
