[Samba] samba 3.0.10 - nmb problems

When I first startup smb

service smb restart

nmbd seems to be starting up correctly.

nmblookup -M chemistry
querying chemistry on 128.148.nnn.255
128.148.nnn.server's-ip chemistry<1d>

and

nmblookup -B SERVER __SAMBA__
querying  __SAMBA__ on 128.148.nnn.server's-ip
server's ip __SAMBA__ <00>


This quickly changes to

nmblookup -M chemistry
querying chemistry on 128.148.nnn.255
some client's ip chemistry <1d>

nmblookup  -B SERVER __SAMBA__
querying  __SAMBA__ on 128.148.nnn.server's-ip
name_query failed to find  name __SAMBA__


I tried using the same smb.conf from samba3.0.9.  I have tried and  
am  still trying minor modifications.  For instance I changed

interfaces = 128.148.nnn.nnn/24 127.0.0.1

to

interfaces = eth0, lo
bind interfaces only = yes

I added

remote browse sync with the subnets which  the server is used.

Is there a simple solution?
Should I downgrade to 3.0.9 if I can?
Should I upgrade to which  version of samba

I am running a RedHat system 2.6.9-42.0.2ELsmp
