Disappearing network neighborhood clients?

Hello:

Just wondering if anybody has noticed a problem where Win98 or NT clients,
upon browsing the network neighborhood, see *only* the Samba-based server,
with everything else having mysteriously disappeared.  In the case of
Win98, after a few minutes and a refresh, all is fine, but apparently NT
users have to reboot in order to resolve the problem.

Is this likely a problem where the Samba server is responsible for
collating the browse list, and somehow failing in that duty?  (I'm not
exactly sure how the smb protocol works.)  Is there a fix/workaround?  I'm
using Samba 2.0.6-9 (RPM version) on Red Hat Linux 6.1.

Thanks in advance.
