Bob,

	To debug browsing problems start by reading
docs/BROWSING.txt to understand exactly how the browsing
works.

If you have NT machines on your network use the browstat
command in the resource kit to show you what local
master browser you have on the network.

This should get you started on fixing the problem,

Hope this helps,

	Jeremy Allison,
	Samba Team.
