Samba question

In the original email:

"In the [global] section I have the workgroup set up the same as the

The SMBD half of Samba is working correctly, shares are accessable.
However, NMBD is what would allow a Windows system to broadcast for the
system name.

You do not happen to use a WINS server?  Otherwise, I stick by my original
suggestions.
