Several users cannot browse the domain (NT4)- but can browse a trusted domain. All TCP/IP settings correct.All services on the workstations are running correctly.Every one else on the same VLAN can browse without problem. The problem Workstations could browse a few days ago. Is this a WINS problem?

There may be two probable causes for this, not to rule WINS out.
First, I would check the services on the server itself, maybe one of the services was not re-started?
Second, and this would be more of a question than an answer. What type of Web Server are you using? i.e. IIS, Apache, etc. There may be permissions within the software itself that is preventing your workstations from browsing your domain.

Why is this guy talking about iis servers? When did I mention iis servers? He says "the software" what software? Come on! Please This is a browser problem. Or am I wrong? Thanks for the comment though.

Turns out it was a linux machine acting as the master browser. Turned this off and fixed the problem. I could have tweaked the registry and forced another machine to be the master browser. (question withdrawn).
