samba - Aug 1998 - Remote announcing - Help!

I have a Samba 1.9.18p8 server running fine on a particular network:
>From smb.conf:
    interfaces = 138.120.247.0/24

..and all works well with PC's on that network accessing the Samba
server.

Now for the tricky part.  

I want to move all of my computers to a new
Class C network: 192.168.164.0
I have the router setup with DNS working, etc.  I migrated one machine
over to that network.  All works
well except I now cannot see the Samba server.

I have setup my remote announce definition as follows:

   remote announce = 192.168.164.255

But still I cannot see the Samba server from this new network.  Any
ideas would be appreciated.

Looks like it should work and I know the man page says to announce to the
broadcast address, but try announcing to the network address instead
192.168.164.0  I have a similar setup but the class C is subnetted and I
wound up announcing to the network address instead of the broadcast - works
great.

If that doesn't help check your router config and make sure you're not
filtering (if you do so) out the packets/ports that samba needs - namely
TCP/UDP ports 137 (netbios-ns) 138 (netbios-dgm) and 139 (netbios-ssn).
Been there, done that too with a little overzealous network admin.

Good luck!
