If you want Network Neighbourhood functionality, then I recommend you use WINS. It is a far better solution than the Computer Browser service, for all its failings. It is still supported in Windows 2008, so you won't have an issue there.
The only alternative, is to force a long-running machine to keep the master browse list.
