Domain_master_browser in SAMBA

[Raymond van den Houwen]

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

This weekend my RH7.1 system was connected to a network, where there was a 
computer running that was the domain_master_browser (WINS) and his IP is 
192.168.0.6

Now, when I connnect it to my homenetwork agian, my samba doesn't work as it 
used to do !! Normally my samba server is also the WINS server for my 
internal network at home. But now I cannot connect to the linux box anymore 
and I cannot resolve the WINS names for my computers because of this. He 
still tries to connect to the old (192.168.0.6) master browser and therefor 
gives an error: Cannot sync browser lists

In the logs I find that Samba has a problem being the domain master browser 
on the workgroup: WORKGROUP

Here you can see a piece of /var/log/messages

And an other piece of /var/log/samba/log.nmdb:

failed.
Jan 14 09:53:06 ray nmbd[1580]:   Cannot sync browser lists.


Could someone please tell me where the information is saved about the subnet
domain_master_browser. And does someone has a solution for this problem ?

Btw: I tried to delete the directory /var/cache/samba, but that didn't
helped.
