SAMBA: cannot see server in network neighborhood


Read many docs and many postings, but cannot see my Samba server from a 2000 Server (stand alone) acting as a client. My smb.conf file is:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/01/27 13:45:38

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
server string = Samba Server %v
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = lpstat
dns proxy = No
printing = cups
security = share

[data]
path = /export/samba/data
comment = Data Drive
volume = Sample-Data-Drive
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers.
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No

if I do a smbclient -L keir I get:

[root@keir keir]# smbclient -L keir
added interface ip=192.168.0.150 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.1a)
ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.1a)

Server Comment
--------- -------
LOCALHOST Samba Server 2.2.1a

Workgroup Master
--------- -------
MDKGROUP LOCALHOST
WORKGROUP ROBYN

- Where is the workgroup MDKGROUP coming from? I took that out of my smb.conf file?
- Why doesn't 'data' show up as a Sharename?
- Why isn't Samba server 'KEIR" visible from the 2000 m/c 'ROBYN'? The 2000 m/c is definately in the workgroup 'WORDGROUP'.
