Here goes...

I have a couple of machines that cannot see the workgroup, BETA, from the 
network neighborhood.  When I try to browse this list from my NT4 SP4 
machine, I get the following logged into log.nmb:

The machine CHRISTOPH is on a separate subnet from the rest of the 
network.  The NT Machine sits by itself on the 10.0.13. subnet with only 
the Linux Samba server on it.  The Samba server also serves the 192.168. 
subnet.  I have most of these machines using WINS with the Samba box as the 
server.  Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

I also have included my smb.conf...
