Graham,
thanks for this input, it has fixed my problem. One of the interfaces in our filer is on a private network. I disabled it for WINS with the ifconfig command; the WINS setup worked without any problems then.

According to Graham C. Knight:
On some OS's you would get this message if you have multiple network cards and run cifs setup.
You need to disable the secondary cards and try cifs setup again. Once the setup has been run the other network interfaces can be brought back online without any problems.
On later OS revs there's a -wins flag to ifconfig that fixed the problem.
