samba - Jan 2001 - sudden browsing problem

Dear all,

We have a network with a mixture of Linux, Solaris, NT and 98 machines,
with all the UNIX boxes running samba 2.0. We do not have any WINS server
and the clients are configured accrodingly.
Recently, browsing stopped working for no apparent reason.
Going to NN results in empty list, sometimes 1 machine is listed,
sometimes a few.
Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

Cheers,
  Leszek

WINS service would be a good idea for win98/NT. Are you sure you 
don't have hardware problems?
