[Samba] Browsing problem

Hi guys,

I've just upgraded from Debian Woody to Sarge, that involved upgrading my
working Samba setup to version 3.0.14. With no changes to my config file, I
now find that my windows machines cannot correctly browse the network. They
can open shares on the linux box if I do Start -> Run
\\ip.address.of.machine but the browse list isn't showing up.

The samba server is correctly becoming the master browser, is a WINS server,
and the windows clients are set to use this WINS server.

Can anyone offer any assistance? The appropriate portion of smb.conf is
below. If any more information would be helpful, please let me know.

Many thanks

Andy
