Are the clients harcoded with the IP address for the Wins, or is it retrieved from a DHCP server?

If DHCP, is the DHCP relay agent still activated to allow the users to be routed to the other domain for DHCP calls?

If the DHCP resides in thesame subnet (172.x), has there been any change to the scope?

Are you able to ping the WINS server by IP address and by Netbios Name?

Are you able to ping any of the servers in the 9.x subnet by IP and by Netbios name?

Please ensure that your wins server ip address is configure as primary wins on all your client pc.
This should work if not you may want to update the lmhost file on your client pc, with the PDC ip address and server name.
