Cameron: I noticed the same thing after updating the Win2K partition on
my dual-boot laptop. I found this in the e-mail from LogWatch on the
server today:
nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(312)
process_local_master_announce: Server LAPDANCE-W2K at
IP 192.168.1.13 is announcing itself as a local master browser for
workgroup HOUSE and we think we are master. Forcing
election.
I had never seen this before, so I'm assuming it may have something
to do with the problem, and will be looking into it further...it was
nearly midnight when I noticed that the laptop couldn't find the server.
The server is running the latest RedHat Samba update for 7.3
(2.2.7-3.7.3).
