This is your problem with OS level = 65.
Samba nmbd now behaves in exactly the same
way as NT server - if someone else claims
to be browse master it demotes itself and
forces an election. Find out why PC1597 at
IP 141.232.62.120 thinks it is a browse master
(and then kill it :-).

This is your problem with OS level 2. Error code 6
(from nameserv.h) = 

#define ACT_ERR   0x6       /* Active error - name owned by another
host. */

Someone else (probably the server at IP 141.232.62.12 :-)
has claimed that name.
