Is nmbd running? That can sometimes cause this problem, but I wouldn't expect "start run \\zvmlinx1" to work in that case. (As Daniel pointed out, it might work, if you have a DNS entry for zmvlinx1.)
I normally specify my "interfaces" parameter as ip.address/24 (or whatever your netmask is). I don't think that's the problem, either, but it is a difference between my setup and yours. You might consider specifying the "remote browse sync" and "remote announce" parameters. Adam suggested having "wins proxy = yes", and I do that as well. Is your desktop's workgroup/domain "littlerock?" Is your desktop's primary WINS server 10.37.1.26?
