Getting my samba server to show up in browse lists

I've succeeded in making my samba server visible around the net, however
I can't convince the thing to appear in the browse lists on remote
subnets. I've read John Terpstra's article on configuring a browser at
http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/ftp/docs/BROWSING-Config.txt
however my (admittedly willful) ignorance of Microsoft networking is
making this article seem rather opaque. I can read it that I must have
a list of subnets at "remote browse sync" and the same list at "remote
announce" or I understand that it's not necessary since I have a single
WINS server.
I've stripped the comments out of my smb.conf file and appended it
below. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be very close, just need
the right combination.
