If I can access another computer on the wired network by name, that
means that the WINS server is working, right?  The problem is that I
can't access another computer by name (only by IP address) when it is
on a different subnet.  I've tried manually configuring the WINS
server in Windows 7 and it doesn't make a difference.

These are the contents of my /etc/config/samba file - should be same
as the default:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/samba
config samba
        option 'name'                   'openwrt'
        option 'workgroup'              'openwrt'
        option 'description'            'openwrt'
        option 'homes'                  '1'

config sambashare
        option 'name'                   'tmp'
        option 'path'                   '/tmp'
        option 'read_only'              'no'
        option 'guest_ok'               'no'
        option 'create_mask'            '0700'
        option 'dir_mask'               '0700'
        #option 'users'                 'abc'
