man smb.conf and look for enhanced browsing.
enhanced browsing (G)
This option enables a couple of enhancements to
cross-subnet
browse propagation that have been added in Samba but which
are
not standard in Microsoft implementations.
The first enhancement to browse propagation consists of a
regu-
lar wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain
Master
Browsers, followed by a browse synchronization with each of
the
returned DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular
ran-
domised browse synchronization with all currently known DMBs.
You may wish to disable this option if you have a problem
with
empty workgroups not disappearing from browse lists. Due to
the
restrictions of the browse protocols these enhancements
can
cause a empty workgroup to stay around forever which can
be
annoying.
In general you should leave this option enabled as it
makes
cross-subnet browse propagation much more reliable.
Default: enhanced browsing = yes
