not correct. If I understand this correctly wins provides the address of the pdc so the local-subnet-master-browsers can sync their browse-lists with it. > By point to point I mean a network where there are two ends, A and B.

B is a local master, but not a domain master. > I assume routing from the pdc back to samba is ok. Did you specify your ppp interface in "interfaces = .." ? We used a samba box to share a dialup a couple of years back with similar unreliable browse-lists. From memory if samba was restarted AFTER the ppp interface came up it worked quicker. hope this helps, Richard Coates -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
