Can't see Samba

The following is a re-post of my original, and as yet
unresolved, questions about setting Samba up on my network.
Since my original post I've renamed my NETBIOS workgroup to
just SUNTREE (Thank you Robert, and others). I also setup
various files for NAMED, named.conf, db.suntreeaz.com,
db.192.168.254, db.66.1.24, db.127.0.0 and db.cache.
nslookup seems to indicate that all is well within my
network. I also moved WINS services over to Samba.
I also noticed a strange event that may shed some light on
the issue. I decided to "Promote" my BDC to a PDC. This is
done with the Server Manager program in NT. I had my Server
Manager set to view all the computers on my network, not
just servers, but SPARKY, my Samba machine, was nowhere to
be found. The process of switching Domain roles involves
shutting of logins on both servers, synchronizing Domain
information and changing roles and then switching logins
back on. Just as BUCKO and CHANDLER exchanged roles, SPARKY
showed up as a Server. I exited Server Manager once the
roles were exchanged and went over to a 98 machine and
looked for SPARKY in its Network Neighborhood. Not to be
found! I went back over to BUCKO and couldn't find SPARKY
in Network Neighborhood or in Server Manager even though it
had just been there. I guessing that this is some sort of
NT 4 SP6 (Service Pack 6) issue although I'm not sure why I
can't see SPARKY in Windows 98 either.
Here's the original post (modified):
I'm new to Samba and FreeBSD and can't seem to get my
Windows systems to see the Samba server I'm trying to set
up.
I have 2 Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) servers set up as domain
controllers and a multi-homed FreeBSD box (v4.1.1) setup as
a firewall and IP aliasing machine for access to the
internet. The Samba version shipped with this version of
FreeBSD is 2.0.7.
My private network mask is 255.255.255.192 and all of my
Windows machines connect and operate correctly with both NT
Servers and also connect and access the internet via natd on
my FreeBSD machine.
The NT 4.0 (SP6) PDC is named CHANDLER and lives at
192.168.254.1.
The NT 4.0 (SP6) BDC is named BUCKO and lives at
192.168.254.2.
The FreeBSD 4.1.1 system is named SPARKY and lives at
192.168.254.5(fxp0) and 66.1.24.33(ed0). It is also running
"named" and WINS.
My SMB.CONF file and LOG files follow my questions.
Since my existing setup is Windows Domain oriented with both
a PDC and a BDC, is Samba 2.0.7 up to this task or should I
be using a later version?
Is IP aliasing screwing Samba up? i.e. Should Samba be
running on a different machine or can Samba work with natd?
Please forgive me if I've done something stupid. I'm in the
process of reading the O'Reilly, "Using Samba" book but I am
stumped.
Thanks for your help
