Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and add wins to the hosts section.
Change it from hosts: files dns , to hosts: files dns wins .
Edit: changed host to hosts

I've tried that way.
but ping 'replies' 'give up' or it pings some hosts do not locate in my workgroup (something like 20*.*.*.*)
what's wrong?
any way, thanks for helping.
