I would agree with this one - we get this a lot at our offices.
Are we to assume that all of the machines in question are on the same
network - we have token ring and ethernet and getting things to appear in
the network neighbourhood across the two networks is a bit of a work of art
!!
Doing a 'Find Computer' in windows will always find a machine if both the
one you want to find and the one finding it are running WINS (in our case
anyway) - this is all a bit above my head - i really should find out about
all this and get to the bottom of it, but all i'm saying is there are plenty
of other things that could prevent the PC from appearing in the network
neighbourhood even if Samba is totally present and correct.
