Hi. As long as I can tell, samba does the job through netbios, while Active Directory (>NT4) does the discovery by DNS. I gues you will have to use the Win2003 machine as a BDC for an NT4 domain (I think that samba will look like that to the eyes of 2003), and that way it will use DHCP for the discovery and ignore DNS.
