I don't think so.  There are a couple of machines that insist on it.  
Both of them are the guys who aren't logged into the domain.
This machine is also dual homed - wireless and wired ethernet.
I even have the DHCP server setting macallan as the WINS server.  Is 
there any way *I* can tweak the registry to disable them from announcing 
themselves as the master browser?
I think I've tried just about everything on the PDC to disable this...
