Hello, I have a similar problem, and have not had the time to figure it out. My guess is you have a M$ NT Server on tha LAN? In that case, read the file BROWSING.TXT (and maybe a few more it points to) in the docs dir of the samba source tree. Also, do ask the mailing list, but the problem is (probably) documented. In short, the NT is a domain controller and sees to it that no passwords go around the net. Please read further in the docs dir (my not try a grep NT * in the dir). Good luck!
