Wide-area browsing & getting the broadcast mask right ??

Hi,
I'm running 1.9.18p7 on a Solaris 2.5 box with two interfaces. I have 2
class-C networks that are divided up with a 26-bit netmask (255.255.255.192)
into 4 subnets, each.
This is what the interfaces look like:
le0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 38.253.161.130 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 38.253.161.128
ether 8:0:20:77:34:b3
le1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 38.253.161.220 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 38.253.161.192
ether 8:0:20:77:34:b3
However, in my 'log.smb' I get the following:
Added interface ip=38.253.161.130 bcast=38.253.161.191 nmask=255.255.255.192
Added interface ip=38.253.161.220 bcast=38.253.161.255 nmask=255.255.255.192
The broadcast masks are not correct, and must be affecting my WAN-browsing.
Is there a way to manually set the broadcast masks for each interface?
In my smb.conf file I have used the following (possibly) pertinent settings:
------------------------------------------
; Configure both interfaces
interfaces = 38.253.161.130/26 38.253.161.220/26
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
remote announce = 38.253.161.0 38.253.161.64 38.253.161.128 38.253.161.192
38.253.162.0 38.253.162.64 38.253.162.128
38.253.162.192
------------------------------------------
Despite the 'remote announce', I don't see any of the machines from the
38.253.162.64 network in my Network Neighborhood.
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
Cheers!
