The broadcast is going further it should go. What is the subnet mask you are using? Should be 255.255.255.0. Also remove the entries in lmhosts.

There is only the server and the client on a small test network. The machines can ping one another. The client has WINS activated and is pointing to the server. When I try a net view command, the client says there is no computer called LINUXSERVER on the network. When I start smb, the log file contains the following /var/log/samba/log.nmbd [2001/08/01 14:51:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:sig_term(65)[ Got SIGTERM: going down... .***** .
