It might.  I'm still digging into the inner workings of browse sync.  I've 
heard (on IRC the other day) that W/9x browse sync doesn't work reliably 
anyway.  I need to do a lot more digging.  Unearthing things that others 
already know and have moved beyond.

Anyway, setting up without smbd works okay if you're just doing NBNS 
(WINS).  I need to verify the DMB claim.

Thanks for checking.
