Workgroups are no boundaries, they are just organisation units. Browsing
boundaries are subnets or total different nets.

Depends on your network. Your postings lack this information. If you
have just a 192.168.0.0/24 net, then I would switch off WINS.

Switch off iptables internally if you are not sure by inspecting your
rulesets whether they interfere with NMB / SMB.

Nothing wrong in the output. Just the missing allow for localhost.

Did you check your settings on the Windows[tm] hosts? From the errors
you posted there is something going wrong with a domain master browser.
Do you run a Windows[tm] host as PDC or an AD server? You may use

local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes <-- ONLY if you have no other domain controller
running

to let Samba control the browse management.
