That can help in a browser election issue. Each protocol maintains
their own set of browse masters. This is one of the indications of a
network or browser configuration problem.

Always a good place to look.

I do not think that the guest account needs to be enabled, but it does
need to have write access to it's login directory. I think that all
SAMBA users including the guest account need write access to the
SAMBA_ROOT:[VAR] directory.
The tests in DIAGNOSIS.TXT can help isolate where the problem is.
