Browsing from Win95/98 possible only if Samba is master

[Gerry Kirk]

using Samba 2.0.6, SuSE 6.1, an NT server as PDC and WINS server

I went through the tests listed in DIAGNOSIS.txt and discovered with test 
10 that no master browser was being selected. The only way a master was 
selected was when I set

local master = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

Previously, these settings were set to 'no'.

Here is my entire smb.conf:
;
; /etc/smb.conf
;
; Copyright (c) 1999 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany.
;
[global]
    workgroup = <DOMAIN>
    guest account = ftp
    keep alive = 30
    os level = 20
    kernel oplocks = no
    netbios name = <LINUX_SERVER>

; Uncomment the following, if you want to use an existing
; NT-Server to authenticate users, but don't forget that
; you also have to create them locally!!!
   security = domain
   password server = <NT_PDC_NAME>
   encrypt passwords = yes
   dns proxy = no

    socket options = TCP_NODELAY

    map to guest = Bad User

; Uncomment this, if you want to integrate your server
; into an existing net e.g. with NT-WS to prevent nettraffic
   local master = yes
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes

; Please uncomment the following entry and replace the
; ip number and netmask with the correct numbers for
; your ethernet interface.
   interfaces = 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0

; If you want Samba to act as a wins server, please set
; 'wins support = yes'
    wins support = no

   wins server = <NT_PDC_IP>

[homes]
    comment = home
    browseable = no
    read only = no
    create mode = 0750

  [cdrom]
    comment = Linux CD-ROM
    path = /cdrom
    read only = yes
    locking = no

[tmp]
  comment = temporary files
  path = /tmp
  read only = yes


Any help would be appreciated,
Gerry Kirk
