hi nmbd.samba.2.2.6 only (previus 2.2.5 not affected) i use 2 linux servers. one of them (raph, os level 255 ) - domain master, second (router, os level 254 ) - local master browser. on raph (also WINS server) - all is ok, but on router: after nmbd startup it try take local master status --log Samba name server ROUTER is now a local master browser for workgroup GROVE on subnet 10.103.105.1 --end log but its not correct, server think it local master BUT ALL WORKSTATIONS in 10.103.105 segment use one of workstations with "Computer Browser" started as master browser. Now i rollback to 2.2.5 samba on router (with the same configuration files) and all ok. __Ury
