1. Apologies for the slow reply to this.
2. Since adding an SMEserver (www.contribs.org) to the network, the network
browsing problems have disappeared. I think that this is because SMEserver
acts as a WINS server by default. Adding the SME server coincided with an
upgrade to Ubuntu Jaunty on our network. So it may be that the upgrade to
Jaunty solved the problem, but I personally think that it was the WINS
server that solved the browsing problem.
3. You will see that I am not, now, able to report reliably that the problem
has been solved for peer-peer networks which mix Ubuntu and Windows machines
without a WINS server. Cheers, Mark
