windows 2000 machines cant see samba

I found that with Win2k I had to hit refresh several times after selecting
entire network.  You might try selecting run and typing \\machinename\
sometimes it finds it even if it doesn't when selecting entire network.  I
battle with this with my laptop all the time.  I find it works best if I
just map a network drive.  It is a pain when you boot and it doesn't find
it, but it really works better.
