Hi,


I had a working 2.0.6 samba on a RH6.2 system with a 2.4.14 
kernel. Clients are all win98/win95 except a win/me laptop. I recently 
upgraded to 2.2.3a ( from source) and since then I cannot see any of 
the clients in the "network neighborhood". I cannot even see the 
workgroup under the "entire network". All clents are configured via 
dhcp and are setup to see the linux samba serve as a wins proxy.

HOWEVER: I can still connect by name to all the clients. just cannot 
see them anymore under the network neighborhood or windows 
explorer..


This all worked fine prior to the upgrade....

a partial clipping of the smb.conf file:
