I have a Samba Server 3.0.23a running on a Fedora 4.
Since Vista entered my lan I've been having problems with
master browser elections. When a Vista client connects to my
workgroup it kills the network neighbourhood and the only
machines seen is the vista client and my fileserver.
By changing the regedit entries on the client side following
this advice:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services >
Browser >
Parameters
MaintainServerList = No
IsDomainMaster = FALSE
seemed to help a bit, but the problem still remains. There
is one user with a Vista Home Edition that still have this
problem.
The global part of smb.conf:
netbios name = XXXX-FILE
workgroup = XXXX
security = user
server string = Samba ver. %v
interfaces = 10.0.0.4
bind interfaces only = yes
# For Vista compability
client lanman auth = no
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 255
encrypt passwords = yes
null passwords = yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
guest account = mmt
wins support = yes
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts dns
A typical log when it dies:

Sorry for wrapping lines, the Samba machine is at 10.0.0.4
and Vista client is 10.0.0.41.
