Can't see Samba Server in network browse

Hi there,

I have been trying stuff for hours, now I think it's time to ask someone:

I have a samba server with a static ip (netctl).
I can ping the server, ssh to it, smbclient -L is working and also in Nautilus if I use the 'Connect to Server' option everything works fine.
But when I try to 'Browse Network' I only see the Workgroup but when I want to access the Workgroup after some time of wait I get 'Unable to access location Failed to retrieve share list from server: No route to host'.
Also if I stop using static ip with netctl and use dhcpcd 'Browse Network' starts working...

I really don't see whats the problem, does someone else?

Here is my netctl profile:

Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.178.200/24')
Gateway='192.168.178.1'
DNS=('192.168.178.1')

And my smb.conf:

[global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    server string = SMB
    security = user
    map to guest = bad user
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    max log size = 1000
    interfaces = lo enp2s0
    bind interfaces only = true
    dns proxy = no

[Files]
    path = /data/smb/Files
    public = no
    valid users = qam
    writable = yes

[Shared]
    path = /data/smb/Shared
    public = yes
    only guest = yes
    writable = yes

Thanks in advance
