[Samba] Samba / Windows workgroup master browser problem

I admit theres a LOT about the windows networking I dont understand -
and even though this may NOT be a SAMBA issue per se, I thought I'd post
it here.
Have a 400gb samba server thats been working well (am upgrading to
current patches today, btw).
I've got 3 Win2k workstations, on two subnets, that have drives mapped,
and connect every morning on startup just fine. All the machines belong
to one workgroup.
The way I have in the past added machines was to do a 'search' for the
computer from the client machine. After it finds the machine, I log in,
and make the connection persistent for future logins.
But recently I can't locate the samba server doing this search.
These messages in the samba log file are suspicious - it looks like no
machine is acting like a local browser for the subnet (??):
[2003/04/10 04:01:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(171)
send_netbios_packet: send_packet() to IP 128.125.255.255 port 137 failed

dump_workgroups()
dump workgroup on subnet 128.125.61.148: netmask= 255.255.0.0:
TEACHERS(1) current master browser = UNKNOWN
ASDFZXCV 40019a03 (California Teachers Study)
If anyone has a clue on this, I'd apreciate it ! I tried the following
mods to my conf file, thinking it would force Samba to help out with
defining the workgroup, but no luck:
os level = 34
local master = yes
remote announce = 128.125.61.255/SIMPLE 128.125.152.255/SIMPLE
Ok..thanks for the help
