On one of the WinXP clients, enter "net view" only shows the Samba server "hermes", no other WinXP clients (not even itself):

However, if use "net view \\pcjason" (pcjason is the NetBios name of the XP client itself), I can see the machine itself.

Hi,
I just configured a RH9 with Samba 3.0.2a as the PDC for XP clients network. The XP clients can join the domain. When I trying to browse the "Microsoft Windows Network" on the client XP machines, I can see all the old Workgroups and the list of XP machines in those workgroups, and I can see the new domain (ZEUS1) I just created with the PDC's name, which is "hermes", under this new domain. However, I could not find those XP machines which newly joined to the new domain. If I search those machine names, XP can find those machines and browse the share folder of those machines. But by just browse the network neighborhood, I could not list the machines under the new domain. How do I make the changes so that the client XP machines can browse the name list of the domain?
Below is my smb.conf.
Thanks, Jason
