Setting /etc/samba/smb.conf to: name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host
And leaving /etc/nsswitch.conf as default allows me to browse OK. Thanks for the advice Steve. You said: "... Opendns breaks the assumption that DNS servers won't return bogus records when asked for hosts that they have no clue about. This should be considered a bug in opendns..." Unfortunately Charter, Verizon and several other ISPs also set up their DNS the same way - they see it as a revenue generator and have no sympathy for the issues it causes.
