samba - Nov 2002 - Master browser problems (I've RTFM;)

Hi,

I've been having problems having my samba server configured to be the master
browser of my network. I've used in smb.conf the flags:

        preferred master = True
	local master = Yes
        domain master = True

and even:

	os level = 255

And still, as soon as I turn on my windows XP pro, it looses it's title as
the master browser!
I don't know what else I can try! Did I go over some part of the manual? :/
Hope not...

Thanks,

Oh, sorry! :/

My network consists of three computers: a linux server (running samba in the
conditions i mentioned in the previous mail), a linux workstation and a windows
XP pro workstation.
The problem is that when I'm browsing my network neighborhood in windows I
can't see the linux server. In the linux workstation it's the same
problem. The best I can do is browse the linux workstation through windows.
When using smbclient on the samba server, the server's name appears in the
server and master sections. In the linux client the client's name appears
only in the server sections and the master is empty. On windows all three names
appear in the server section and the window's name appears as master.
(That's why I "guessed" the master browser problem! ;)
Sometimes the linux client shows windows as master though. And running win98 in
vmware through the linux client I can browse the linux server but not the other
two computers.

I hope I've explained myself better this time. Thanks again,
