DNS change - browsing doesn't work

[Lori Homsher]

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this question. I went 
through the diagnosis.txt file and found this email address at the end.

I've been using Samba successfully for 4 years with very few problems. It's 
a great product! However, I recently changed our DNS IP addresses and now I 
can't browse my samba servers from Windows. I have a hunch it's a Windows 
problem, not a Samba problem, but I've exhausted my troubleshooting options 
and I'm hoping for some new ideas.

Here's the problem: After changing /etc/resolv.conf (and all PCs) to show 
the new DNS IPs, my 'network neighborhood' errors out with "jjsheeran is 
not accessible - the list of servers for this workgroup is not currently 
available." It's acting like my workgroup name has changed, but it hasn't.

I deleted the browse.dat & wins.dat files and restarted samba. It recreated 
the files, but I still can't see my samba servers. All other tests (1-9) 
from the diagnosis.txt file pass with flying colors, so I'm pretty sure my 
samba server is running fine.

I'd appreciate any ideas anyone out there may have.

Thanks,
