I would suspect a Linux box somewhere on your net that has a new Samba install on it. The default configuration is set for the box to attempt to be the Master Browser. A tool like NMAP will help you identify the type of device you're dealing with, this could help in a process of elimination, otherwise ARP and CAM tables will find it, assuming you have switches and not hubs...
