I'm starting to think it's all on Vista's side. My Windows 7 has a
problem finding the networks after a while. It would find it at first,
and then it stopped.

Also, just curious, I had to reboot my machine for a kernel update and
when the Suse box came back up, Wndows 7 did find it. So did you try
that? Maybe just restarting samba doesn't fix the master browser
problem? Or you could at first completely try restarting network
services? Or possibly on Vista, try a netconfig /release and see if it
finds it after that?

Just some ideas I would try if I was in front of the machine helping a
client, figured I would send the suggestions along.
