I have a problem that I am hoping someone here may have ran across
before and knows the solution. I have a Linux machine set-up on a NT 4
network. The purpose of the Linux machine is to host a "intra office"
webpage. The Linux machine is also accessible through Windows Explorer.
I am getting an error message on the main NT 4 server saying the following:
"The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer
PHOTOLIB that beleives it is the master browser for the domain on
transport NetBT_E100B1. The master browser is stopping or an election is
being forced."
Can anyone tell me what this message means, and what I can do to fix
this problem? Thanks!

Your NT machine thinks it is the master browser. It appears that your
linux box also thinks that it is a master browser. I think that this is
some of the most interesting protocol communication because, as you see,
they are willing to have an election to decide it. I am not sure how
this is decided.
If you do not want to use samba on your intra-office web server, turn
off the service. Otherwise, you just want to adjust your smb.conf file
to no longer be the master browser.
