Keep in mind, the browser list really doesn't have anything to do with DNS
or WINS except to find who is the master browser for the subnet that you are
on. Once your client finds this out, it queries that server.
The browser election process in each subnet will determine who is the master
browser for that subnet. Each master browser has to be able to determine
who is the master browser for the other subnets so that they can all tell
each other what is in their individual browser lists so that each subnet has
a complete list.
If you have any clients that are marked hidden, they of course will not show
up in the browser list. If none of the clients in a subnet have the browser
service running, that subnet will not show up in the list. A lot of times,
Windows 95 systems win the browser election and become the master browser of
a subnet, but do a poor job at it. Also, if you have routers that are
forwarding broadcasts, this will cause the election process to break and you
may have subnets that think someone system on another subnet is the master
browser for that subnet and no system will be elected for that subnet.

Hmmm.
Did you say other people are having the same problem? XP will try to browse
using DNS before WINS.
