If you find a solution to this please let me know because I have about 150
win2k machines that are causing the same issue not hurting us yet because it
is only testing.

Subject: [Samba] causing LMB elections

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for
some time.  I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine.
I've upgraded 40 boxes.  One W2k box has started announcing itself 
as a local master browser for one of the workgroups.  A samba
server thinks it is master, forcing election.  Samba will stop
being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish
itself as LMB.  In a couple of minutes the same W2k box will
force another election.  This is occuring every 4 to 5 minutes,
none stop.  In the smb.conf file, os level = 64.  I have
tried higher levels.  Changing this parameter doesn't seem to
have an effect.  Any suggestions for a cure?  What may have 
caused this W2k machine to decide it is the LMB?

thanks,
Duke
