Hi, could you please assist me with this problem?

PROBLEM: Samba-1.9.17p4-3.i386   I CAN map Linux drives via Samba
successfully from WINNT 4.0, but I can't see my samba server 'hurricane' in
Network Neighborhood'.
ACTIONS:  diagnosis.txt results
Test 1 - passed
Test 2 - passed
Test 3 - passed
Test 4 - passed
Test 5 - failed (nmblookup -B hercules '*'    message: sending queries to
192.168.42.6  name_query failed to find name *)
Test 6 - passed (only 192.168.42.2 hercules)
Test 7 - passed
Test 8 - passed
Test 9 - passed
Test 10 - Can't browse server via Network Neighborhood

I've studied smb.conf and made sure browseable options were set on mappings
that I have configured.
I've studied several docs and haven't found any resolution.
