[Samba] Two local master browsers in the same subnet??
Hello I have the following problem. I have a Windows network, when Samba starts it says in his logs that is local master browser for his workgroup. However when I do nmblookup -MT <Name of the workgroup> it returns two ip addresses, one of them is the address of the Samba Server, the other is the address of a Windows machine (could be Windows 2000 or XP). The thing is that the browse list that is seen in the network neighborhood is the one mantained by the Windows machine, so for all practical purposes the local master browser is the Windows machine. If I reboot the Windows machine the Samba server becomes the local master browser and everything works ok (doing an nmblookup returns only the ip address of the Samba server). Any ideas why is this happening and how to fix it?? Thanks in advance. Pd: the following are the relevant options of my smb.conf (there isn't any other Samba machines) local master = yes os level = 65 preferred master = yes browse list = yes domain logons = yes domain master = yes
