samba - Apr 2006 - unable to browse samba server with Win98, but it works with WinXP

Hello,

I have samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6 bundled with CentOS 4.3 x86_64 and I can't
browse it with Win98. I have a very simple setup, Share type, with
access to everyone.
If I double-click on the server name from Win98, I have this message:
"\\server is not accessible.  This device does not exist on the
network."
If I type the whole path to the share(ex: \\server\transfer), in
Win98, it works.
In WinXP there is no problem.
In the log of the Win98 client connection I have this:

Could you try a current version? If it also happens with
3.0.22, please send your smb.conf and a debug level 10 log,
the default does not give enough information.

Are you restart smbd and nmbd after make changes in the smb.conf ?
I have same problem under Fedora C3 and Samba version 3.0.10-1.fc3,
when I start for first time samba with default smb.conf.
(I don't  used samba service before on this computer).
Then I make same changes:
#vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
and expecting that service shares will work without restart the smbd
and nmbd (/etc/init.d/smb restart).
Because
#testparm
parse the shares and parameters of smb.conf without warnings.
I test locally with
#smbclient -L localhost
But shares is not shown in the output, only smbclient "said" that
Samba is running.
After I manually restart the demon smbd and nmbd, then the shares
starts working!!!

I hope this help.
