[Samba] Not visable server

I have a find the solution my self and I think I have
an addition to the DIAGNOSIS.txt and the FAQ

The DIAGNOSIS.txt did not give me anything.
All test pass thru without half of  the last.
The problem was that the Linux Samba server had a different
network IP mask than the windows client.
The Linux Server had network address 192.168.7.2 with mask 255.255.0.0
broadcast 192.168.255.255
but the client had 192.168.7.3/255.255.240.0 broadcast 192.168.15.0
After setting them to same everthing worked.
Must they be the same??
If yes: Maybe samething to write in the DIAGNOSIS.txt file...
