If you get errors please be most specific as you can. So don't
paraphrase it but cite it. Often it helps to enter the error term to a
google search to find helpful hits.

It can be helpful to activate WINS in the Samba setup. Netbios should
work: a look at /var/log/samba/nmbd.log can be helpful locating
problems.

You should decide which of your SMB serving hosts should be the main
browse list master. Important settings are too "local master" and "os
level". Conflict between Samba and a Windows® host can raise up
problems.
