[Lilux-help] samba not showing a computer in browse-list

There is a windows-host in our homenetwork which prefers to stay invisible 
from others. The server is set up as authentication server and works fine 
even for this computer except that the computer I mentioned doesn't show up 
in any browse list. (even in network neighbourhood on its own desktop).
The computers ip is correctly resolved if I use only the hostname part. I 
added it to hosts and even to lmhosts (which should not even be needed 
because there is also dns). Wins-support is enabled and I told the windows 
hosts to use wins. I also switched the lm-advertising from automatic to on, 
with no results.
Does anybody know what I should watch for? The weird thing is that two other 
machines are as far as I can tell set up exactly the same way and they show 
up in network neighbourhood.
Samba version is 3.0.1

Thanks for any hints.
