I am not sure this will go through to anywhere, but I'm keeping my fingers
crossed.

Basically I am trying to figure out why I am getting the following error:

Mar  9 18:06:28 Trickyd nmbd[1774]: [2003/03/09 18:06:28, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesyn
c.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(509)
Mar  9 18:06:28 Trickyd nmbd[1774]:
get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail:
Mar  9 18:06:28 Trickyd nmbd[1774]:   Doing a node status request to the
domain
master browser at IP 192.168.240.8 failed.
Mar  9 18:06:28 Trickyd nmbd[1774]:   Cannot get workgroup name

192.168.240.8 is a Win98SE laptop connected via 802.11b. It is NOT a master
browser, but I do have both the internal wired and wireless lans using the
same workgroup name.

Trickyd is my server with 3 NICs (eth0, eth1, wlan0), with eth0 connecting
to the internet, eth1 connecting my internal wired lan, and wlan0 connecting
my internal wireless lan. System is running Mandrake 9.0 (2.4.19), Samba
2.2.6, bind 9.2. My /etc/smb.conf file is:
