Browsing Problems (Vanishing PCs & Workgroups from NetHood)

Hi,
PCs keep disappearing from one of our workgroups (SYS-STAFF) and PCs in
SYS-STAFF
frequently cannot see other workgroups. PCs in other workgroups are
frequently
unable to browse SYS-STAFF, even though TCP/IP connectivity works fine
all the time.
I've got Samba 2.0.5a running under Solaris 2.7 which is configured to
be browse master
for SYS-STAFF. Samba is running on a very lightly loaded Sun Ultra 10.
Excerpt from my smb.conf:
os level = 65
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = no
When nmbd is restarted it reports that it is the Master Browser for
SYS-STAFF
but then nmbd frequently reports it cannot contact browse master for
SYS-STAFF
a few hours later.
Sometimes an entry like this occurs ( from a Linux box running Samba
2.0.3)
>[1999/09/03 18:32:34, 1] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_reset_browser(710)
> process_reset_browser: received diagnostic browser reset request from RWHLTPC<00> IP > >>139.222.4.103 state=0x2
I've stopped samba on this machine pro tem.
Any ideas? I'm getting a bit desperate :(
TIA
Shaun
