Browsing problem with Samba 2.2.2 PDC

Hi,

We have been using Samba 2.0.7 for a couple of years on Solaris 7.  I am
trying to move to a Samba 2.2.2 NT domain, with a Samba PDC offering
WINS.  I have downloaded the Solaris 7 package for 2.2.2 and installed
it on a test machine as a domain master for domain "TEST" and "wins
support = yes", but I am stumped almost immediately with a browsing
problem.  My new server can share everything I have set up, but it will
not publish a browse list.  I can manually connect to
\\lucas-100\sharename, but browsing the "TEST" domain comes up
completely empty, even though the PCs have been set to use the IP
address of the server for WINS.  I can add machines to the domain
correctly, but they never show up.  However, wins.dat correctly shows
the entries I expect.

I have searched the archives which sent me on many merry goosechases,
but I can't come up with a fix, or figure out what I have done wrong. 
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Here's my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT

My nmbd logfile seems to indicate that the server is becoming the DMB
and LMB...

Thanks in advance,
