WINS not working-- can't figure out if it is Sophos related not.

I have two LANs connected using IPsec to form a site-to-site VPN using two Sophos UTMs. All is working fine but I'd like to have the remote computers show up when users go to network.

This should be a simple matter of just setting up SAMBA and activating the WINS server function -- which I did.

I then took one computer on each LAN and assigned it to use the WINS server.

The result is that either computer can do name resolution -- I can ping the remote computer using the name rather than the IP but the computers still don't show up in each other's network.

I've checked that the browsing service is on for both Windows 10 computers. The Ubuntu VM running the WINS server is the master for the 192.168.2.0/24 network.. For the 10.1.1.0/24 network the Windows 10 machine connected to the WINS is showing up as master.

Reading about this issue some people mention firewalls being the problem. Is there something I need to do with Sophos to make this work? 

Rather than set the WINS server from each computer is it possible to have Sophos assign it when it hands out IPs?
