Multiple Samba Servers

Hi,
I am setting up a Network with four FreeBSD 4.2 machines. On two I have
already configured Samba, it works perfectly, but there is a slight problem
when both are running. It seems like they're fighting over who will be
listed when browsing the "Network Neighbourhood". I can only see one of
them. Sometimes they switch, and I can only the the other, but never both.
Although only one can be seen, I can still access the other one by just
typing in it's name as in '\\server'.
What's the trick? I tried setting 'local master = yes' and 'preferred master
= yes' on one of them. But I don't think this has much to do with the
problem. I couldn't really find help in the docs either.
Please help.
Below a copy of my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = SIMPLE
server string = File Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
invalid users = root toor daemon operator bin tty kmem games news
man bind uucp xten pop
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 192.168.1.113 127.0.0.1
interfaces = 192.168.1.110/225.225.225.0
bind interfaces only = yes
os level = 34
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
max log size = 1000
max open files = 500
force create mode = 644
force directory mode = 755
create mode = 644
directory mode = 755
[homes]
read only = no
browseable = no
follow symlinks = no
oplocks = no
