By default, Samba pretends to be a NT Server. In the Server Manager
you can see that the Samba machine appears as 'NT 4.2 Server' or sth.
similar.
In many domains, the servers aren't visible to the clients in the
network neighborhood. I had the same problem once.
After I told Samba to identify as a NT Workstation, everything was
fine...

I just can't tell you which option in smb.conf contains the parameter
of the OS, but you can easily change it with SWAT.

Hope to helped you,

Fabian
