[Samba] Can't see Samba Server from Win2k

[Ric Tibbetts]

What worked for me was:

To your [global] stanza, add:

         remote announce = <address of PDC, or ADS>
         remote browse sync = <address of PDC, or ADS>

With those, I was able to see the samba server from my XP boxes.

Hope that helps.
