Wonky browsing

I 'solved' at half of my browsing puzzles when I found a reference list 
of Microsoft NetBIOS name suffixes in a KB article (163409).  The 
'IS~<computer name>#00' format is simply how IIS registers itself in 
WINS.DAT by IIS servers.  My apologies for not finding this before I posted.

The problem remains, however, with 'ISZKAZ' not appearing in BROWSE.DAT. 
     From the Samba host, a query of 'ISZKAZ' shares produces this:

$ smbclient "-U" <username>%<password> "-L" iszkaz
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.0.2 )

The same query run against the other W2K node, 'KIRALY', which happens 
to be the local master browser, produces what you might expect:

$ smbclient "-U" <username>%<password> "-L" kiraly
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
