As someone else noted - be careful with this if you are on a net with 
NT/2000 domain controllers....
Try to search the archives for this group for this question.
Basically - you need one domain-master-browser for each workgroup (domain)
(and one local master browser for each subnet / workgroup).
(So if your servers are in separate workgroups - then you need them BOTH 
to be domain-master-browser).
In addition - make sure that ALL the machines talk to just ONE wins-server.
