Hello there...I'm having a weird problem with my network...I'm not sure if it's a problem with Samba directly, but here's the lo-down...in event viewer on our NT server we get messages saying "the master browser lost an election. An election is being forced on WORKSTATION..." Samba SHOULD BE our master browser for our domain...certain machines in the domain cannot even contact our PDC when trying to log on...I ran all of the diagnostics for samba, and everything is great...the conf file isn't corrupt, IP is ok, etc. Please help...thanx ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kevin Buerk System Administrator Hancock Place School District (314) 544-1300
