Hello Niki,
I replicated your settings on a CentOS 7 on a KVM, I did not see the
samba server when I click on "Browse Network", however when I enter
smb://<server_IP_address>/ I was able to see the shares.
If Im not mistaken the 'nmb' service is responsible for browsing,
therefore I stopped it and I was not longer able to see the shares from
a windows or samba client.
What is the output of:
$ smbclient -L <samba_server_host-or-IP> -U <samba_user>
from one of the samba clients?
