If you can't find the DOMAIN, I would suspect a WINS server issue.
Look both at the log.nmbd file in /var/log/samba, and also check that your windows clients have their wins server set correctly: either
ipconfig
under Windows NT and sons, or
winipcfg
under Windows 95 and its, uh, heirs.
Both can be run from a command (DOS command.com or cmd.exe) window.
If the WINS server is wrong, then network browsing will go all to h*ck!
