[Samba] Re: Samba doesn't appear in browse list

[Johnny]

Hi guys,

I am also interested in knowing if there is the related issue in most 
recent versions.  I tried both Samba 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 and realise since 
switching, my clients (Windows XP) always show empty host list in the 
workgroup of My Network Places.  I checked the browse list file 
(browse.dat) and it looks the contained information is updated 
constantly and correctly.  But for some reasons, the information did not 
get passed to the clients?

Switching back to 3.0.0 version solved this problem.

Would appreciate if someone knows exactly what could be wrong here, even 
better, could offer a possible solution.

Thanks alot,
Johnny
