Hi Saddam,

Thank you very much for your reply.
A long time ago when I first set up the server, I thought I read the
"preferred master" parameter was necessary for clients, but it appears I am
wrong in this understanding.  I will research this in the samba
documentation.

I am currently running the nmbd process, but I get the feeling perhaps
running an "nmb service" may be something different.

I have enclosed the testparm -vv dump below.
The server role is stated as:   ROLE_STANDALONE

Thanks again for taking the time to respond; very much appreciated.
Here's the other output:
