Unsolvable Win2000/Samba problem

My Win2000 box doesn't see the Samba server. Ok, ok, you're all thinking, "Edit your registry!" or "enable lmhosts!". Well, I did all that ... nothing. Here are the facts:

Four other Win98 and WinME boxes have no trouble talking to Samba. The Win2K machine has no trouble talking to the network (ftp, http, etc. all work fine), and can ftp to/from the Linux box.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ... enableplaintextpassword is set to 0x1

Running Linux kernal 2.4.7-10

Running Samba 2.2.3a

Some of the possibly-relevant smb.conf lines:

security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
read bmpx = No
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host guest account = pcguest
encrypt passwords = Yes

Thanks in advance for any insight -- I'm really baffled by this.
