It´s like samba is not being able to "talk" to the rest of the workgroup. (of course they are all in the same workgroup)
I´m using "wins support = yes" and I´ve set the DHCP to set the clients
to use the samba server as wins server.I´ve checked the win clients and they get the correct conf.
Unless you have pre w2k clients, disable Wins, Win2k uses DNS or Netbios res. What you are experiencing is a lag in the population of the master browser, you need patience. You could setup up dyn dns for the Samba server and win clients as well...
You set local master = no, so what / who is the master browser? Do you have any win servers?
Setup Sambas as per the example, then go away and grab a coffee... It takes ~15 mins...

Set Samba as the master Browser. You may have to bump the number up for it. Then service smb reload. Then restart the Windows clients (lots faster). All you really need to access the server is \server_name\machine_share\ then map the Network Drive to it. I have seen some win clients that just would not enumerate shares though.
