Browsing a Samba server on NT

[David Chamizo]

Ron-
If you cannot browse or 'net use', it must be related to a WINS issue. If 
you are running Samba as a domain controller, set 'domain master=yes' (make 
sure this is the only station maintaining a browse list!). Also, under the 
WINS section, add the IP address of your Samba DC (wins server = 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Hope this helps,
