samba - Dec 2008 - Minimum settings for browsing to work (with no issues)?

OK guys what's the minimum (in a simple home network -- no subnets, mixed
windows/linux boxes) to get browsing to work *with no issues*?

I've been reading the official samba how-to, specially chapter 10 and 29.
However, it's not really clear. I went on the irc channel and did not find a
definitive answer.

If I'm reading correctly, if you don't have a working DNS or WINS
server, then you set samba to use broadcast: "name resolve order =
bcast".

Is that really all I need for browsing?
What about my windows boxes?
