That's because Samba uses TCP/IP for it's transport protocol, including
all browser elections, while Netbui is a seperate transport protocol all
on it's own. Thus, if you have Samba running (only uses TCP/IP) and
another PC running with only Netbui, they won't be able to communicate
and thus can't share microsoft networking browser information. This
pretty much is only a problem when a third PC is running both. It can
lead to network "confusion" where some PC's can't find a master browser
or mutiple master browsers exist on different machines because they are
running different protocols. Bad Juju.

FYI
I've found that netbeui actually interferes with the network browser if
Samba is your master browser.
Setting up /etc/hosts with all IPs and setting up ignore statements for
udp did the trick for me.
