[Samba] how to see samba servers in win 7 network

[Lanny Baron]

Hi,
There is no AD server. Just a few freebsd/ubuntu servers. The PDC server 
has security = user and the other member servers have security = domain

There are no windows servers in this small network. Only windows and 
ubuntu clients. The ubuntu clients can see all the samba servers. Only 
windows clients can't

Regards,
