Using nmbd without smb for browsing

Hi all,
I would like 2 "Windows" PCs connected with PPP to a linux box to share their
files and printers using netbios.
The linux box doesn't have to appear in the "network neighbourhood".
So I run nmbd (and NOT smbd) in the linux box with the appropriate options in
smb.conf to be a wins server and to be the domain browse master and local
browse master (as I saw in the file "browse.txt" in the docs).
One of the "Windows PC" is an XP computer. On this machine in the
neighbourhood I see the workgroup name a entered in smb.conf (MY_WORKGROUP),
but I can't browse it. The name resolution looks good though (I can ping the
windows name of the linux box).
In the tcpdump on this connection, it looks like the client sees the linux
box (BLUEDSL), and the try to connect to a TCP port (that would probably be
handled by smbd if it were here).
Is there any chance I could make this configuration work ? Is anyone
interested in having more logs/config files ?
Regards,
David.
ps :
I use samba 2.2.3a and the linux box is based on an ARM processor, linux
2.4.17.
tcpdump on the linux box :
linux box : name BLUEDSL, IP : 10.0.0.1
XP machine : name CMO_LAP, IP : 10.7.58.2
