[Samba] Re: WINS server looses election irregular in a
heterogeneous network

Hallo Helmut,
I am pretty sure the IP 221 is a Windows PC, but it doesn't really
matter, because may be a week it is IP 123, who is winning the
election, another week it's 213 who is winning and so on.
We found out, that its always a Windows PC, which is announcing itself
as a Master Browser.
It's really curious, because if I restart "my" samba server, it
_always_ wins the election. The problem arises, if the samba server is
some hours online.
Is it an unavoidable problem, which exists in an heterogenous
Win/Linux network or is my samba misconfigured?
Thank you very much.
Glück Auf,
Timo

What kind of OS runs on 10.0.80.221?
If it's Linux, and if there runs a Samba server too: which OS level has
that server?
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
