unable to browse/ map drive

I plead complete ignorance.  

I have 2 Win98 boxes and a Win2K box trying to access a Samba 2.08 server
running on OpenBSD 2.8.  All IP addresses are hard coded with the IP of the
Samba box as the Wins server (see the smb.conf)  The Win2K box can resolve
the name of the Samba machine but cannot map to it.  The other boxes can't
resolve the name.  All are set to the same workgroup.

[global]
workgroup = REYNOLDS
netbios name = realty
wins support = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
os level = 36
local master = yes
[share]
comment = for testing only
path = /export/samba/test
read only = no
guest ok = yes

I know the os level is wrong (per O'Reilly and partners) but I keep losing
the election to the Win2K box even when it was set to 34.

Is the fact that share (obviously the test share) has a "guest ok = yes" and
the global doesn't relevant?  I can't browse this network and see the Samba
server while I see all the Windows boxes.  But browsing isn't necessary is
it?  If I can resolve the name, I  should be able to map a drive, correct?
BTW, I can see the Win2K box from smbclient.

How does Wins work?  Can I dump a list of the machines that have tried to
register with  Samba via Wins?  Why do some machines try to register (or
successfully register) and others do not?    

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks and please forgive the ignorance,
Rick
