Well, I received no suggestions on this, but ended up figuring it out thanks
to Tom Schutter <tom at platte.com>, who posted the URL for
"Browsing and Windows 95 Networking".  In there I discovered that my problem
was that there wasn't a Master Browser on the subnet I moved my Samba system
to.  All I needed to do was add:

	local master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        os level = 33

to my smb.conf file and restart Samba.  Then a refresh in my NN window, and
everything showed up.

Thanks Tom, for that reference.
