Samba on Sol7 vs. Slackware8 - Domain/Server problem

Let me start by saying Network Neighborhood is a waste of time. That said
people like it so I must get it working.

I have setup the Slackware 8 machine as a WINS server and everything looks
good. The domain appears to the clients, the clients appear within the
domain. Only nit is the clients (they are running XP) don't see one
another but they do see the server and themselves.

The Solaris 7 machine is using the exact same version of Samba and a
virtually identical smb.conf file. Here the server works if you directly
address it, and the domain appears in network neighborhood. However the
server doesn't appear within the domain when you browse on the domain.
'net view /domain:gfo' yields a message that says something like There is
nothing in the list.

Any more ideas?
