----
traditionally 'HOMES', 'PROFILES' shares are not visible and thus, your
setting 'Browseable = No' would be normal for the 'HOMES' share.

if you want the Windows systems to be able to locate the other systems
just by browsing the network, you should make them all belong to the
same 'Workgroup' (this system is MYGROUP and Windows default is
MSHOME... make them all the same).
