Here's something you should check:
Microsoft changed the default workgroup from "WORKGROUP" (which actually
has a special meaning) to "MSHOME". Since it is the "Pro" editions that
are not seeing the share, I would check that they are configured to use
the same Workgroup that the other machines are configured to use.
I noticed there didn't seem to be a "Workgroup" setting in the
samba.conf file, so Samba would appear to be using the default. (Though
I wasn't specifically looking to see if it was using a Windows Domain
Server, as I've no experience there. If you're using one, then you don't
have a workgroup anymore.)
Ideally, unless you're using a domain server, you want to have a
specific known name for your Workgroup. Don't just use the default, as
the default can be different depending on the OS.
