I also have this problem with redhat 7.1 and samba 2.2.1a .  It is to the
outside world as if this machine does not exist.   I have 16 samba boxes
out there around the state serving up domains for our locations.  I have 
used everything from samba-tng2.5 to samba2.2.0 with success. The last good 
combination I got was 2.2.0 with a redhat 7.0 box.  I also use a 2.0.7 as a 
non domain controller on a redhat 7.1 box successfully.  I have tried with two 
separate installs to use 2.2.1a with redhat7.1.   I also suspected the firewall 
rules, but I intentionally blew these away with no positive results.  The only 
indication I get that the samba domain exists is that when I give the domain a 
name, the client sees that that domain exists, but can't see any machines in it.  
You can also do "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '* '" successfully.

I am also stumped, but I will continue to slog along and see If I can stumble 
across something.
