You should activate a WINS server on one of your machines. (Samba has
the documentation in the file BROWSING.txt, for NT/2000: look for the
right check box.)

You should set up the Windows machines not to use network broadcasts:
- Disable NETBEUI
- Set the Netbios node type (see DHCP.txt in the samba distribution).

This should improve your network performance significantly.
