Well, as I said earlier this is very hit-or-miss (and has been for a long time). It's hard to tell if its a bug in Linux or Windows. You can waste a lot of time trying to wrestle this to the ground.
One thing to check is the workgroup settings on the NAS and PC - they should match.

Hello ndverge,
It must be the network is becoming to strict, firewall blocking it probably.

It could also be an issue in the switch. It has its own layer-2 routing tables, and might not be distributing the discovery traffic correctly. Rebooting the switch clears the tables, and it broadcasts everything until it rebuilds those tables again (looking at the mac addresses that are active on every port).
