I have the following network setup. I have a route defined on the linux
machine to the NT server with 'route add -host 208.222.17.11 eth0'.
Gateway for this whole setup is 192.168.5.1. Linux machine is the domain
and local master browser. Workgroup is the same on *all* machines. A WINS
server is running on the NT machine and all workstations including the
Linux machine use it.
** Any machine can ping any machine on this LAN **

The problem is that workstations cannot see the NT machine in their browse
list (network neighborhood). However they can map any shares from the NT
server and if the 'find computer' option is used, the NT machine is
found
and its share listed. On the other hand the NT server can see all the
machines in its browse list.
I have tried several configurations and read the docs but have had no
success so far in getting the SAMBA servers browse list to list the NT
server.
I have added 208.222.xxx.xxx/32 to the interfaces option but then nmbd
doesn't start and gives errors. In the current configuration i get this
error in the nmbd log file.
register_name_response: server at IP 208.222.xxx.xxx rejected our name
registration of ISB<00> with error code 6.
my_name_register_failed: Failed to register my name ISB<00> on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET.
standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name ISB<00> on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET
Please help me find a solution. Perhaps the secret lies in 'error code
6'? Also i am sure that i am missing some info out. Please let me
know if you need it. This message is already quite long.
Thanks
