[Samba] Master browser problems (I've RTFM;)

2002-11-16 Thread Paladin 
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,
