I'm aware that the cifs server does not work as a master browser and
therefore it does not appear in "my network places" in windows or the
smb network in gnome, however, according to [1], a workaround for this
is to have a windows server in the network. A windows server is a
windows that is configured as a master brower according to microsoft's
documentation so I basically forced, by editting the registry, a
Windows Vista in my workgroup to always act as a master browser.
I changed "MaintainServerList" to "Yes" in the registry,
"IsDomainMaster" doesnt seem to exist in vista
This has not worked properly
I'm using the cifs server in workgroup mode
I can access the shared if i manually use \\nbname in both windows and gnome

the only error related to cifs I can see is
Mar  2 19:23:08 saturn smbd[565]: [ID 413393 daemon.error] dyndns:
failed to get domainname

Am I reading this incorrectly and this cant be done?
