Can't access workgroup from Network

[Net Boy]

I have a small workgroup (consits of WinNT4.0 and Win98) on my LAN. All of them belong to workgroup CAD. Recently, I just set up a Samba server which is configured as a member of workgroup CAD. From the Network Neighborhood I can see the CAD workgroup but somehow I can not access the workgroup. The system gives error message as below:
CAD is unaccessible, an unexpected network error occur

I can ping all the workstations and the server without fail. What went wrong? (Mapping network drive from the Samba server can be done on winNT workstations)

There may be contention for which box is the browse master. I assume that with samba disabled, NT and Win98 rebooted, you are able to browse the workgroup without errors?

Try adding the following lines to /etc/smb.conf

remote browse sync = 192.168.0.2
remote announce = 192.168.0.2

Where 192.168.0.2 is a PC that is usually on and can act as browse master.

Also, in smb.conf [global] section:

browseable = yes
os level = 2
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
security = share
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = yes

and made sure the workgroups match.

Thanks Wavey! Below is contents of my smb.conf file:

[global]
# Server configuration parameters
netbios name = sv10
server string = Samba %v on (%L)
browsable = yes
workgroup = CAD
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd

# Browsing election options
os level = 34
local master = yes
preferred master = yes

[homes]
guest ok = no
browsable = no

[temp]
path = /tmp
comment = temporary files
public = yes
read only = yes
browsable = yes

I have not try to change the above config to the one you suggested. I'm wondering what's wrong with my config.

By the way, how can I disable the Samba server? :P
