samba shares visibility in vista and windows 7

Hi,

I have an f14 samba file server with several f14 work stations and a 
vista notebook and a win7 desktop.

On my f14 systems, if I go to Places > Network, It displays all the 
shares on all the systems except for homes for the f14 server and other 
f14 systems.  If I go to Places > Connect to Server ... and select 
Service type Windows Share, type my server name, Share: homes, User 
Name: <username> and click on Connect, after authentication I see my 
home directory on the server.

On either vista or win7, Network does not display any smb shares.  But 
again, I can manually mount any smb shares as network drives using
C:\> net use m: \\servername\share_name.

Here is a copy of output from testparm smb.conf for the server:

$ testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
