windows 2000 machines cant see samba

[Alex Snow]

I just tried refreshing the window when in the 'my network places' but 
that didn't work...tried directly contacting the machine still 
nothing. though when I run nbtstat to see what names it has with the 
-r it doesn't give any but says that 1 was resolved by the wins server 
and 1 was resolved by broadcast.
I even took down my wins server but that didn't do anything either...
