Hi, I'm trying to win a local master browser election, but for whatever reason, my samba box always loses. smb.conf: os level = 254 domain master = no local master = yes preferred master = no Log from nmb:[2000/04/03 13:50:07, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(112) register_name_response: server at IP 144.81.30.140 rejected our name registration of ETS<1d> with error code 6.

Now there are 2 Windows 2000 boxes on the subnet, but I don't know what effect they have. Can anyone tell me why it's failing? Thanks so much!
