WfW announces itself as a local browse master whenever it is configured with the ability to 
share files or printers. In fact this has nothing to do with actually sharing files or printers, 
just with the possibility of doing so.

If you don't need Sharing on this box, set EnableSharing, FileSharing and PrintSharing to 0 in 
SYSTEM.INI and restart Windows. If you need it, experiment with "os level" in smb.conf.
