Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name

[Inaki Sanchez]

Bosco,

Is your Samba server part of a NT Domain? If this is the case, and your samba is a local Master Browser in the domain, it will try to syncronize its browse list with that of the Domain Master Browser of the Domain, normally the PDC. If you have another machines on your network than can act as local master browser (any W95 or NT can), you can try 

local master = no
prefered master = no
os level = 0
