I have setup a samba server for my home network, 2x kubuntu PCs and a work XP 
laptop.

In syslog I get ...

Feb 12 07:25:10 localhost nmbd[6233]: [2006/02/12 07:25:10, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(353)
Feb 12 07:25:10 localhost nmbd[6233]:   find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Feb 12 07:25:10 localhost nmbd[6233]:   Unable to find the Domain Master 
Browser name OFFICE<1b> for the workgroup OFFICE.
Feb 12 07:25:10 localhost nmbd[6233]:   Unable to sync browse lists in this 
workgroup.

There is no domain master browser, jut my 'subnet' of 192.168.0.* Is this 
someting I should just ignore or is it possible to turn off samba looking for 
it. Or very possibly have I made a configuration error in smb.conf ?
