A lot of network browsing relies on broadcast packets, and there's a good chance these broadcasts aren't making it through to the nmbd process running on the server. Use ethereal or some similar packet sniffer on the same machine as nmbd and verify that these broadcasts are reaching the server. In many virtual machine cases you have to manually configure the broadcasts to be forwarded on to the virtual machine. I would've thought WINS would solve this, but then again if broadcasts aren't getting through then who knows what other traffic is being lost.
