I agree that preferred master should have been set to yes. I made that change with but still no joy.
I don't mean to be contrary but our cross subnet browsing has been working since 2003 when we set up this network. It has been very reliable and I depend on it to work. And I believe it is because of have our WINS servers the way that they are.
Contrary? Well I had to ask. Because it has to work like that for your SNMs. NP
I do think that I have hit upon an issue. The WINS data for samba is kept in /var/cache/samba.dat but it is updated dynamically with nmdb. It has dated data. When I moved the server I changed the server name slightly and so the WINS data points to the old name at the current IP. In fact with this network rebuild I changed most of my computer names and they are all incorrect. I think I need to shut down all three instances of samba clear the wins data and then start them all again so that they populate from scratch.

all else that fails put that machine on another known working Subnet and have a go at that.
