Issue:
I can not see my machines when browsing the network, how do I resolve this?
Resolution:
Often this can be solved by using a WINS server. If you have one already configured, set your clients to point to it. On Linux this can be done by using the wins server = 10.0.0.1 parameter where 10.0.0.1 should be replaced with the TCP/IP address of your WINS server. On Microsoft systems this can be set in the TCP/IP properties by clicking on the Advanced option and then the WINS tab.

If you do not have an WINS server, Samba can act as one. Simply add this paramenter in the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf:

wins support = Yes
