There are several things to be considered:
1. Physical / Datalink layer. Do you use switch or hub? If you use switch, configure each port to 100/Full Duplex. Do same thing with PCs. Sure, if you have some 10Mbps devices (like printer or another legacy device), detect, which port is it connected and configure that port on switch to be 10 Mbit. This allow you to exclude this part of network from troubleshooting.
2. You mentioned you enabled WINS. But there are 2 steps involved in this.
A. You should enable WINS SERVER on one of your server. And this should be enabled on LAN interface, not Satelite.
B. You should configure WINS CLIENT on each PC. Go to TCP/IP settings and enter IP address of your WINS Server.
Use any sniffer software (I believe, you may download some software for evaluation period) and look what happening in your network before you enable WINS and after.
3. Check your servers configuration. You should have Microsoft Networking Client, WINS, File Sharing, etc only on Inside LAN interfaces. It's really bad idea to enable anything except TCP/IP on Internet or Sattelite interfaces.
Good luck. If you have more questions, you may just write me.
