Ok, for now I left this parameter to "no" and removed the printer 
section

I removed this line

k, I renamed them:

netbios name = RSB
server string = RSB Server
workgroup = RSBShared

This is part of my final configs I have planned. I made two user groups 
that will replace the long list above

The error is a popup window on Win2kPro machines:

The network place cannot be added because the following error has 
occured:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon 
request.

Like I said, I'm new but it looks like the server is not broadcasting 
itself to the network? The weird thing is some Win2k/XP/Macintosh 
machines can connect no problem.
