Problems finding Domain.

	Unfortunately we did not have any NT machines on that subnet.  We
got everything going though this morning.  I think the big issue was that
there were alignment problems w/ gcc.  When the unix admin used Sun's C
compiler everything took off.  That would tend to explain the garbage we
were getting in the location and comment strings.
	However, we are now having trouble browsing anything other that
the domain that samba is serving.  This is a far less critical problem for
us, but still rather annoying.  Is there any way to samba to go scavenging
across subnets to find other master browsers/wins servers and get their
information?

	WINS is static, DNS is bootp.






Thanks for the help...
