Without the WinS server, you can use the IP instead of the name and that
should work. It should also be able to use DNS to resolve it

| NBP was not engineered to run over the wide Internet.  Samba supports
| NetBIOS over TCP, so it can be done, but:
|
| 1)  The performance will be horrible due to Internet latency.
| 2)  You must have a WINS server running so the remote system can translate
| the NetBIOS name to a IP name.  I don't know of any WINS servers for UNIX,
| not to say they don't exist.
