Local Master Browser election problem

[Tom Murphy]

Hi,

  I'm trying to win a local master browser election, but for whatever
reason, my samba box always loses.

smb.conf:

os level = 254
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = no


Log from nmb:[2000/04/03 13:50:07, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(112)
register_name_response: server at IP 144.81.30.140 rejected our name
registration of ETS<1d> with error code 6.
[2000/04/03 13:50:07, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_fail2(427)
become_local_master_fail2: failed to register name ETS<1d> on subnet
144.81.30.21. Failed to become a local master browser.
[2000/04/03 13:50:07, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:standard_fail_register(295)
standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name ETS<1d> on
subnet 144.81.30.21


144.81.30.140 is a Windows NT 4.0 SP5 Workstation and for some reason
it's rejecting the name registration of the workgroup (ETS)<1d>??

Now there are 2 Windows 2000 boxes on the subnet, but I don't know 
what effect they have.

Can anyone tell me why it's failing?

Thanks so much!

Tom
