Quite possible! If the Samba server wins the election and becomes the
DMB, then browsing will be affected if the DMB goes offline.
The solution is to remove the Samba server as the DMB by setting the
following options:
local master = no
domain master = no
wins server = <IP of Win2K Server>

Do you understand how UNIX access permissions work? If no, then start by
reading chmod(1).
To provide group access to the shared folder:
- Create a group and add all the users whom you wish to provide write
access to this group. We shall call the group as "staff"
- Identify the shares for group access and change the group ownership
to "staff"
chgrp -R staff /path/to/share
- Make the shares group writable and set the sticky bit:
chmod 1755 /path/to/share
- Make the files in the share to be group read/writable:
chmod 644 -R /path/to/share/*
- Users should have their "umask" set to "002". This is the default in
RedHat Linux.
This should do what you want.

Get a book on UNIX system administration and RTFM. Its all in there.

Samba also has a whole bunch of options to set permissions. See
smb.conf(5) for "create mask" and related options.
