Allow me to explain.

Example:

Server NetBios name - SERVER
Workgroup = OFFICE

The server is working properly from a functional standpoint.  If I drop to
the Dos windows of Win95, and type "NET VIEW \\SERVER.  I can use the NET
command to remap drives, etc.  Once remapped, I can see the remapped
directory from the Windows explorer just fine.

However, if I do "NET VIEW /workgroup:OFFICE" the server does not show up.
If I go to the Network neighborhood and look in Workgroup OFFICE, I do not
see server.

In the smb.conf file, I have enabled Workgroup = OFFICE.  It does
sporadically show up in the "Network Neighboorhood" on the Win 95 machines,
but then disappears.

What I would like to determine is what is causing the icon to disappear, and
what can I do to keep it there permanantly.
