What changes did you make to smb.conf?

What happens when you do Start, Find, Computer, and then the server's name?

What happens when you do "ping <servername>" from the client?

I have installed redhat linux 6.1 and Samba 2.x. I am able to ping back and forth between the linux and win95 boxes. However, the samba server does not appear in network neighborhood and when i click start, run (and enter the server name) my computer times out.<br />
When I run:<br />
smbclient -U% -L localhost<br />
all information displayed appears to be correct when compared to installation info in the man.<br />
testparm also returns results that are okay.<br />
the client and the server are setup to use the same workgroup. When i run ps ax it says that both smbd and nmbd are running. I am at wits end. Any ideas?
