Well I sorted out my networking again, thanks to a clue from EJ (thanks EJ).
I only have one static IP address in the network and that's my server (CentOS). As it is the box that I keep all my backups on, I thought I might as well put that in the Hosts file. Miraculously, as soon as I did so it enabled the other PCs which are DHCP to be seen and the shares were accessible through the normal file browser via the workgroup. I don't know why it worked but never question a gift horse.
