I promise you: it has been here.

Yes. It's handled in detail in docs/BROWSE*txt.

Do you have "remote announce" and "remote browse sync" in you smb.conf's?

>From docs/BROWSING-Config.txt:

	If each network segment is configured with it's own Samba WINS server, 
	then the only way to get cross segment browsing to work is by using the 
	"remote announce" and the "remote browse sync" parameters to your smb.conf 
	file.

Hasta la vista,
