[Samba] Phantom workgroup

I have a Samba 3.0.4 server configured as a PDC. NetBIOS name of the
server is "SERVER"; name of the workgroup is "AEC".
Problem is that there's now a phantom workgroup called "SERVER" when I
try to browse the network. Since there's no clients configured in this
workgroup, any attempts to browse this workgroup fail.
When I attempt to use User Manager for Domains (usrmgr.exe, from
SRVTOOLS) from a Win2K or XP client, I am first presented with the
error message, "Could not find domain controller for this domain. Would
you like to select another domain to administer?" I suspect it is first
trying to connect to a DC on the phantom workgroup, SERVER. In the
"Select Domain" dialog box, both AEC and SERVER appear as domains. I
can select AEC and it works.
