Probably all ready made sure this was on, but I'll ask it anyways.

Is File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on the PC?

If so are the appropriate directories shared?

I know these are basic configs, but the host side was never mentioned so I thought I would ask just to make sure. The reason you are seeing the traffic on port 137 (Netbios NS) to the broadcast address is to look for any shares on the net and apparently it see's none. Your PPC is browsing for "anything" since it can't connect to the host. There maybe several reasons, no shares, mapping to \\x.x.x.x without a share extension like \\x.x.x.x\Shared Folder, No access for Shared and Print Services on the PC, or the router could be blocking 137 to allow mapping of the drive which I would doubt on todays routers. I would rebuild any shares and also try looking in reverse if you can, or to another machine if you have one.
