Cheers Greig. Unfortunately that didn't fix the problem. However, it seems to have changed the damn things behaviour. Now, I *sometimes* get 2 out of 4 machines showing in the browse list - mine and a friends. However, the Samba box and Megans don't show. And if I ignore it for a while, it goes back to showing just the Samba machine!! Pram ---------------->>>> Toys :( Shane. Quoting Greig McGill <greig(a)hamiltron.net>:

Hi.
I'm having a wee problem with Samba. It's configured to be the Netbios Master Browser for my home network. It's working perfectly ..... except that the browse list only contains a single machine - the Samba machine. I can get to any other machine using it's netbios name - \\megans - and everything works fine.
Hi Shane,
Try turning on "wins proxy = yes" in smb.conf You shouldn't need it, but I have seen issues where client machines announce themselves to the master, but it does not re-announce them.
From the man page for smb.conf:
wins proxy (G) This is a boolean that controls if nmbd(8) will respond to broadcast name queries on behalf of other hosts. You may need to set this to yes for some older clients.
Default: wins proxy = no
Hope that helps.
