Setting /etc/samba/smb.conf to:

And leaving /etc/nsswitch.conf as default allows me to browse OK.

Thanks for the advice Steve. You said:

"... Opendns breaks the assumption that DNS servers won't return bogus records when asked for hosts that they have no clue about. This should be considered a bug in opendns..."

Unfortunately Charter, Verizon and several other ISPs also set up their DNS the same way - they see it as a revenue generator and have no sympathy for the issues it causes.

Thanks,
Brandon
