samba - Nov 2015 - how to see samba servers in win 7 network

Hi,
Have a few samba servers in a small network. The only way any windows 
client can see shares is to use \\servername

 From the samba pdc, running smbclient -L pdc-server -N shows list of 
servers. So its not an issue of the samba server being able to resolve 
other member servers.

Opening Network only shows the local computer (itself). I have searched 
around and find any fix for this.

Thanks.

If your shares are on a Samba AD DC, then They will not be visible by 
network browsing, this is because the 'nbt' part of the 'samba'
binary
does not contain the required code and you cannot use the 'nmbd' binary 
on a DC.

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
