Samba problem: it sees only the computer that was powered on first.

[sk545]

I got samba installed and all, but when i try to browse the shares on my windows XP computers, it only is able to see the machine that was started first. In other words, if i power on box 1 first, it will see that. If i power on box 2 first, it will see that but not box 1. Same is true vice versa. I am using smb4k 0.3.1 to browse the netwok (which is a home lan with three computers on a router). Only thing i can see wrong is that whatever box samba connects to, becomes the 'master'. Like in this pic:

Any way to fix this and get both boxes to show up?

Here is some misc info:

smb.conf file is here:

Samba Version 3.0.0 running on Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.0test11.

Two other boxes both running WinXP pro, one is FAT32, the other one NTFS. They are configured as a workgroup and i am able to connect from them to the Debian samba box just fine.

Thanks.
