No, it isn't because of something you have done, or not done, it is
because, from 4.11.0, smb.conf now has these by default:
client min protocol = SMB2_02
server min protocol = SMB2_02
This means that your DC will not use SMBv1 and this is required (at both
ends) for network browsing, try installing wsdd, this will make the DC
visible to Network Discovery.
See here for wsdd: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd
