Hi, We had sort of the same problem. :) The NT network kept losing it's Master Browser. I had the Samba 2.0.3 machine running with all the settings to NO.. even at that, I guess the Samba machine was still winning the vote even though everything was disabled. Then I tried os level = 0 - this seems to have worked. Well the network browselist isn't being upset every 12 minutes now :) Regards, Richard Jones NOS Administrator WEA Mfg.

Is there a way to stop this? On both my Samba servers, the smb.conf has domain master = no and one of the Samba servers acts as a WINS server. The security setting for both Samba servers is security = Domain. Thanks for your help, Lanny Baron
