[Samba] current master browser UNKNOWN

[Uwe Pfeifer]

Hmm, over that it says:
 dump workgroup on subnet        10.8.0.1: netmask=  255.255.255.0:
        FREAKYYDE(1) current master browser = MASTER
                MASTER 408c9a03 (master server)

so it seems ok but I still can't see the server on the network.
I also don't see any error message.

Here is some part what I get when running nmbd -i -S -d 10:

I don't know what else to try.
