[Samba] Browsing

[Howard Miller]

Hi,

Iteresting one... yes I had WINS and yes everything was configured to use it and was pointed at the 
*same* samba machine. 

It actualy all started working "by itself" although it took several hours to come good. I don't like 
that kind of solution - I'm waiting for it o break again!
