If Samba is running in a jail it is linked to a Alias IP. AFAIK broadcasts are only processed and responded to by the primary IP address. This might be why. Ask on -net if they would know about how to get the alias ip responding to netbios broadcasts. Why it works for me: simple, all my servers are using DNS. All my DHCP clients get automatically added to DNS. Also, if I am not mistaken, Windows Vista wants to move away from Netbios. In WIndows XP there is even a setting to disable Netbios on TCP. I believe Samba is catered for that. Ports are 445 on windows if I am not mistaken.
