This seems like more of a general Windows network administration
question;  with little specificly to do with Samba.  You'll probably get
a better response in a Windows networking forum.

TIP:  If you want to avoid using browsing, etc... you can set the
NetBIOS note type of your workstations either in the registry or via
DHCP.
