what domain is the NT DMB/PDC in? if this is the same then this will be
part of your problem.

don't use this parameter except for announcements OUTside of your WINS
server's NetBIOS responsibility. e.g, over the internet to a _really_
remote subnet.
i hate the remote announce option. can anyone tell?

these options configure your samba server as a greedy local master
browser. it will fight off even an NT server for the right to provide
browse lists, on its local subnet, for (in this instance) the workgroup
ENG_CHELMS.
if your NT server is in the same workgroup as your samba server, then use:
local master = no
preferred master = no
domain master = no
os level = 0
instead.
if your NT server is NOT in the same workgroup as your samba server, then
use:
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
os level = 33
... and read the browsing documentation PLEASE. i hate answering browsing
questions, except of the form 'having read the documentation, i still
can't get it to work. what am i doing wrong?' (to which my response
will
be 'bugger, it's not your fault: where is our mistake in the docs?')
keep in touch, scott - please let us know how you get on.
