[Samba] WinXP client can't browse list for the domain it joined

Hi,

I just configured a RH9 with Samba 3.0.2a as the PDC for XP clients
network. The XP clients can join the domain. When I trying to browse the
"Microsoft Windows Network" on the client XP machines, I can see all the
old Workgroups and the list of XP machines in those workgroups, and I
can see the new domain (ZEUS1) I just created with the PDC's name, which
is "hermes", under this new domain. However, I could not find those XP
machines which newly joined to the new domain. If I search those machine
names, XP can find those machines and browse the share folder of those
machines. But by just browse the network neighborhood, I could not list
the machines under the new domain. How do I make the changes so that the
client XP machines can browse the name list of the domain?

Below is my smb.conf.

Thanks,
Jason
