SAMBA and NT browsing

Hello,

I am trying to set up samba shares  for a W95 and a WNT4.0 Workstation 
box. The W95 box seems to be fairly happy with the whole situation. It
sees both the WNT and the samba server in its Network Neighborhood and it
can use the samba printer and fileshares. The WNT box sees nothing
(It only fails the last of the 10 tests in the DIAGNOSTIC.txt) but can
use everything (printer, shares). The smb.conf file has evolved into:

[SAXSfiles]
 allow hosts = localhost, a.b.
 path = /home/fileserv
 public = yes
 guest only = yes
 browseable = yes
 writeable = yes

[SAXStylus]
 allow hosts = localhost, a.b.
 path = /tmp
 printer = lp
 printing = BSD
 writeable = no
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 guest only = yes
 printable = yes

[global]
 name resolve order = lmhosts host
 interfaces = a.b.c.d/a1.b1.c1.d1
 announce as = NT
 security = share
 nt smb support = no
 public = yes
 printer = lp
 load printers = no
 guest only = yes
 browseable = yes
 os level = 33
 wins support = yes
 local master = yes
 domain master = yes
 dns proxy = no
 workgroup = UC_SAXS
 netbios name = SAXServer
 allow hosts = localhost, a.b.c.e, a.b.c.f, a.b.

where a,b,c,d,e,f are IP address segments (00h-FFh). Although the system
is basically usable it would be a welcome feature if the browsing worked,
so that access is easier.

TIA

George
