I noticed a couple of things in you smb.conf that have given me problems in the past. You have the OS level at 32 which should cause this machine to win all elections as the master browser, but WINS support is not on, which means after it wins the election, it won't provide any name resolution and you won't be able to browse you network. You can lower your OS level to 20 or turn on WINS support. If you have another wins server, you will have to reference it as the primary wins server.
Also, you socket options look a lot different than anything that I have seen. I don't know if it's causing a problem, but I would leave them at the default for testing. I will post a smb.conf that I have been using on my primary domain controller for two years now. I has gone through minor changes with the various versions of 2.2.x samba, and it is running on a 2.2.9 server now. You should be able to use the WINS stuff. This one will not work with a 3.x domain controller. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LRLEC-DOMAIN netbios name = CRUISER server string = LRLEC File Server interfaces = eth0 172.17.0.0/16 lo encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password:* %n\n *new*password:* %n\n *updated*successfully.* unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 time server = Yes unix extensions = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain admin group = @admins domain guest group = nobody add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u;passwd -l %u delete user script = userdel %u logon script = netlogon.bat logon path = \\%L\%U\.profile logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes winbind use default domain = Yes admin users = administrator write list = administrator,root printer admin = administrator,root hosts allow = 172.17.0.0/16 127.0.0.1 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 printing = cups dos filemode = Yes dos filetimes = Yes dos filetime resolution = Yes [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/samba/netlogon browseable = No [profiles] comment = Personal Profile Folder path = \\%L\%U\.profile read only = No profile acls = Yes browseable = No [public] comment = Public Files and Folders on Server %h path = /home/samba/public force group = +users read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No [samba-root] comment = Top Level Shared Directory on Server path = /home/samba valid users = administrator, ddj, jshanks read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [tools] comment = Tools and Utilities for Windows Workstations path = /home/samba/tools force group = +users read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [911home] comment = Lake Region 911 Group Folder path = /home/samba/911home force group = +911users read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [dlpdhome] comment = DL Police Dept.
