[Samba] Samba 3.5.8 - windows XP workstations disapear from browselist
Hello!
I have small network in my work. Workstations that connects to it runs 
various kind of OS. This includes:
1x Windows 95 (Brother Printer)
8x Windows XP <=problematic!
2x Windows Visa
2x Windows 7
1x Samba 3.5.8 (WINS,DNS, supose to be LMB)
There is a serious problem with a browselist. Ever single windows XP 
workstations disapear from browselist after an about 24 - 28 minutes 
after workstation powerup or smbd restart. After this they are still 
accesable by hostname, netbiosname, and ip. Other workstations are 
visible as they should be and don't disapear.
First i thought it is an name resolution problem but i run correctly 
configured dns server. This server answers for both types of querry: 
straight (domain->ip) and reverse (address->ip).It is well tested. Also 
i've made /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts files. They contains same 
ip=domain setup as named.
Next thing was an firewall on my server (smbd and nmbd runs on it) but i 
found that it does not matter. Even turning off tcp_syncookies and 
rp_filter. Without success.
I have found an article suggesting that windows xp firewall is to blame. 
I dont think it is a true, because workstations runs diffrent types of 
firewall. One of them use windows firewall but others use another 
firewalling sollution. Both of theese disapear from browselist in the 
same way. Complete disabling of XP workstation firewall does not solve 
problem.
Every switch in my network was tested. I have excluded damaged one from 
topology. It was an device connecting 2 XP workstations (+uplink) on a 
edge of network. Still, no success with improving browselist stability.
Also i have tried diffrent configurations of samba. No succes. Now i run 
following configuration:

#================================================
Now i dont know what is to blame ... samba or maybe workstations ?
What should i do next ? I have found simillar questions on internet but 
all of them was without an successful sollution. Maybe someone here 
solved this ? For me it looks like XP workstation loosing it's browser 
or perhaps another machine wining election ( even two LMB in one network 
segment!).
Is there any way of debugging tis from M$ side ?
Should i supply wiresharck dump or another information?
If you find this post unproper for this list please let me know. I'll 
try another.
Big THANKS
Looking forward for hearing from You
Thanks in advance
Sorry for mine poor english ...

That will tell you if the problem is caused by your server losing its master status, or by something else. Moray. "To err is human; to purr, feline."

[Samba] Samba 3.5.8 - windows XP workstations disapear from browselist
Hello ! I would like to refresh this topic beacuse I have discovered something new. This problem relates only to machines with WINDOWS XP with automatic system update enabled. Win XP sp2 (fresh install) with disabled updates does not dissapear! So should i try to uninstall some of updates ?Is there any way to find the one responsible for this problem? Thanks ! BartekR
