Both Samba servers and the machines I'm interested in are in the same
workgroup. Right now, it looks like:
(diagram shamelessly ripped from BROWSING.txt)
All machines in the diagram are in the workgroup SLING
(DMB/LMB - samba)

davisson blalor
(W95) (LMB - samba)
On subnet 1, the workgroup SLING appears with the machines sling1-4 and
slingblade. On subnet 2, the workgroup SLING appears with the machines
davisson and blalor. I had originally said that sling1-4 appeared in
browse.dat on both machines. As I look this morning, these 4 machines do
not appear in either machine's browse lists (browse.dat). Every 15
minutes, slingblade contacts blalor, presumably to swap browse
information. Since davisson is currently off, I should at least see
blalor in the Network Neighborhood of sling4, but I'm not.
Any suggestions?
