samba - Apr 2001 - Erratic browsing problem

If you're using WINS on the server, make sure all the workstations are 
configured to use the WINS server. I've seen this behaviour when using WINS 
on some servers/workstations and not on others.

Every once and a while, there is no list of computers shown in Network
Neighbourhood. If I wait a minute or so, the list returns.

Samba 2.0.6 as a PDC, with Win 9x clients. All clients have local master
disabled. Samba set as local master, domain master, WINS server.

There is nothing in the log.nmb file, except for handling logons.

There are some Win 95 machines that don't maintain the WINS setting. I 
guess I'll have to upgrade 'em.

Thanks,
