Can you give specific example of how you connect your windows client to the 
server?  

Are you trying to browse from a remote network?
If so, you may want to read this section of the howto:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html#id2530513
       
Your client computers must  be configured to use the wins server.  On a 
windows machine, open the command prompt and type
	ipconfig /all
One of the output lines should tell you the ip address of your wins server.  
It should be the same address as your samba server -- is it?

I'm presuming you have a samba server and windows NT/2000/XP Pro clients.  I'm 
presuming that this samba server is the only domain server, only wins server.

Are the windows machines actually members of the domain? Your samba config 
shows domain logons are disabled but your earlier post shows your domain is:         
"TVGBCAST" and your server's name is "laxbcastdns01".
I may be mistaken, but I believe a windows client will not see the domain 
server's shares if it is not a member of the server's domain.

on the samba server type 
	nmblookup -M 
what is the output?

on the windows box, try nbtstat  with its various flags and see what you get.

Your name resolve order is not correct according to the SAMBA howto. It should 
be:  

 	wins support = yes
	name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast host
