Hi again all.
I still haven't resolved this issue of browsing the LAN. Here are a few
details:
* The windows stations can see each other when the Samba server is
off-line
* The windows station can't see each or anything else on the
network when Samba is brought on-line
* Wins support is enabled
* each windows station has proper Wins entries with Wins enabled
* the server and stations have been rebooted several times -
doesn't change anything
* /etc/hosts has proper entries
* each windows station has a static IP (small network, easy to
manage)
* nmblookup correctly identifies the Master Browser as the Samba
server
* smbclient properly lists shares on the Samba server and each
windows station
Here is a look at the nmblookup - general query applied
nmblookup -L pgbc
added interface ip=192.168.0.9 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
