Samba and the PDC are fighting for being the Browse master, why?

No, he needn't. If I look at my wins.dat I find:

"PIEZO#1b" 903043736 192.168.32.1 44R 

PIEZO is the domain in question and 192.168.32.1 is the samba machine (FAURE).
And 1b is the code for the DMB.

And the DMB works well; the thing what bugs me, is the fight for the local
master browser.

To summarize: The samba machine is the DMB, this is ok. The samba machine is
also the LMB but every 12 minutes the PDC wants to become LMB, fghts with
the samba machine and loses 20 seconds later.
