Samba RH4.0->RH7.1: lost WAN services

Hi all,
Back in the dim and distant past, I installed the newly released RedHat 4.0,
and set up Samba to be our Wins server, domain controller, local browsemaster
etc. All worked fine, and everyone could browse across
workgroups/sites/networks and winpopup worked between everyone. The only
upgrade I ever did to this machine, was a samba upgrade about a year after
the initial install - sorry but I don't have a version number for this
upgrade.
Last month, the HD died so I took the oportunity to install the latest RH7.1,
(plus all errata as of about 3 weeks ago). I've set up the samba config as
much as I could to match the original one, but now browsing does not work
between networks and neither does winpopup. WINS appears to work as SMB
network printing still works between sites, and if you do
Start->Find->computer it finds the computer (most if the time).
I've included the globals sections for both the original and current config
files. If anyone can see what I've missed please let me know.
The local network is 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0 and the IP of the server is
10.1.1.101. The workgroup name is 'LEEDS'.
The network for the remote site is 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0. The workgroup name
is 'DONCASTER'. 10.2.1.2 is a RH5.2 system set up as browsemaster for
Doncaster.
The connection is a straight forward private leased line running IP, etc.
There is no NAT, or firewalling involved.
