Browsing

I followed the PDC Howto that mentioned to point to an external WINS source,
and the config would leave you as the Browse master and Local Master, thus
should allow browsing through it?  But when I don't use WINS, and wait,
there is no browsing it just tells me '$Domain not available' from windows
2000, and the win98 client.  This didn't bother me too bad because I had
used local wins on the previous samba. So I just turned wins support = yes
and then restarted, rebooted each workstation with the wins address
configured, and once again, the Win2k and the Win98 box cannot browse, but
the exact same wins config worked last time.  When I check the wins.dat file
it is populated and has the user logged in, and the workstation to IP, but
just doesn't seem to give it out to clients?

Anyone see something similar before?
