For what its worth..

1 B-node: Broadcast - no WINS
2 P-node: Peer - WINS only
4 M-node: Mixed - broadcast, then WINS
8 H-node: Hybrid - WINS, then broadcast

I believe that to be a correct and complete list for dhcp-option=46  
(46 netbios-nodetype)

I use 2, because I use wins.

You might set your log level up a bit in samba and look in your  
log.nmbd and see if the hosts are actually registering with wins, is  
your samba server at 10.7.0.2?

This is for my samba server @home..

# Global parameters
[global]
         workgroup = WORKGROUP
         netbios name = THINGONE
         server string = [SAMBA]
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         name resolve order = wins bcast host lmhosts
         time server = Yes
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY IPTOS_THROUGHPUT

         logon script =
         logon path =
         logon home =

         os level = 65
         preferred master = Yes
         local master = Yes
         domain master = Yes
         dns proxy = No

         dns proxy = no
         load printers = yes
         printing = cups
         printcap name = cups

and some dnsmasq:

bind-interfaces
bogus-priv
cache-size=1024

dhcp-range=172.16.64.11,172.16.64.25,255.255.255.224,1h
domain-needed
domain=at.home
except-interface=lo0
filterwin2k
group=nobody
interface=fxp0
log-dhcp
log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log

Again all works great..
