Sorry, i didn't understood that you haven't any wins server on your
network.
So, to be sure to well understand : You don't have any PDC nor Domain
Controler, have you?

I such a case, i recommend to configure samba to act as a wins server and
domain controler. As this, all client will be able to log on the domain and
browse it.

So you will have to enable such things as
wins support = Yes
domain master = Yes
ect...

Take a look to the smb.conf man page since it explain quite well all
      options.

Regard's
