samba - Aug 1998 - NT timestamps; WINS lookup

Two questions.  First, timestamps seem to be getting screwed up when I
access files on the company's NT server.  Someone (using NT) creates some
files.  My ls -l output shows them as having screwed up dates (ie, 1935,
2027, etc).  95, 98, and NT users see the dates as normal.  When I copy
any files with cp, the dates change for me, although remain nonsensical,
but now the timestamp is also nonsensical for all the Win* users.  This
does not happen when I create, access, or modify files on someone's 95 or
98 drive.

Second, is there a way to get smbmount to use WINS?  Currently I'm
manually specifying IP numbers when I want to mount a drive, as follows:

ea:~> smbmount //mudd/c mnt -n
mudd: unknown host
        The -I option may be useful.
ea:~> smbclient -L mudd
Added interface ip=198.133.210.145 bcast=198.133.210.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 198.133.210.4 ( 198.133.210.95 )
^C
ea:~> smbmount //mudd/c mnt -n -I 198.133.210.95
ea:~> cd mnt
ea:~/mnt> ls
[drive is correctly mounted]

Hello,

  I'm having trouble here when setting up my NETBIOS domain.

  It must cover two or three Ethernet segments. My configuration is like
this one:

   WinHost
     |
+----+----------+-------+   1st seg
                |
		+---------+
 		|  Linux  |
	        |  Gated  |
		|  Samba  |
		+---------+
			  |
		  	  +---------------+------+   2nd seg
					  |
					WinHost


  As you can see, the router is a linux box, running gated, and samba is
on it. 

  My domain must cover both segments, but Windows hosts can only see the
computers that are in the same segment. What can i do? 

  Is there some kind of configuration with samba? gated? or windows?


  Thank you very much for any help you can give me....
