Dear Charlie, thank you for the tip of setting "announce version" to keep Master Browser. But it just keeps Master Browser for 6 hours. This is the nmb-log:
=== [2008/06/19 23:51:00, 2] nmbd/nmbd_elections.c:run_elections(204) run_elections: >>> Won election for workgroup WODANLAN on subnet 10.0.80.5<<< [2008/06/19 23:51:00, 2] nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_browser(525) become_local_master_browser: Awaiting potential browser state.

I don't understand why the election is won when the server is restarted, but why it is lost, when it keeps a few hours online.
