Disappearing Server

I am having trouble with a server disappearing from a workgroup, even
though the server is still on line and as far as I can tell functioning
properly. The specifics follow:
Samba Version - 1.9.18p8
OS - Linux 2.0.35, 486-120
Compiler gcc 2.7.2.3
global portion of smb.conf:
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = guest
server string = Diecard Server
workgroup = DCSYS
netbios name = OPLDIECARD
remote announce = 156.65.104.0/DCSYS 156.65.105.0/DCSYS
security = user
status = yes
browseable = yes
share modes = yes
strict locking = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
encrypt passwords = yes
read prediction = yes
update encrypted = yes
locking = yes
The problem is that when viewing workgroup DCSYS from a Win95 Machine, the
server is not showing up. If I drop to a DOS shell and enter:
"net view \\opldiecard", I can see the shares of the server just fine.
I can also remap the shares using "net use ...." just fine as well.
One other point - the machine that I am looking at workgroup DCSYS from is
in workgroup UG2. I thought that by using the remote announce capability
in the smb.conf, I could broadcast to the entire network that this server
is in workgroup DCSYS.
Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
