[Samba] XP Clients missing in my network places

Hi All,
Sorry if this is a re-post, I sent it in to gmane.network.samba.general
yesterday and haven't seen it posted yet, so I decided to send it to the list.
I am currently running samba 3.0.3 on Fedora Core 2 (Kernel 2.6.6). The
samba server is running as the PDC for the domain, with no other servers and
a handful of 98 and XP clients. The problem is that Windows XP clients will
not show up in My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
When using UNC names I am able to access the machines, but cannot find them
otherwise. I am not even able to see them with net view. All of the 98
clients show up fine.
The clients are configured with Client for Microsoft Networks, File and
Printer Sharing and TCP/IP. In the TCP/IP options I specified to use
NetBIOS over TCP/IP and have set the wins server to the address of the Samba
server. The bindings for the client adapters are (in order): File and printer sharing and client for Microsoft networks. I cannot change the order. None of the machines have any sort of personal firewall software.
One other thing, when I browse the entire network, I can see two copies of my domain. The XP clients show one instance of the domain empty and the 98 clients show both with the same computers (the server and the 98 clients)
Is this a problem with Samba, or XP? I have googled this but cannot find an
answer. Below is a copy of my smb.conf
Thanks
