Re: [Samba] Dueling master browsers...
most often I have seen the dueling master browsers because a windows machine is running with both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocol enabled. Browser elections take place on all protocols enabled. Since Samba does not respond to the NetBEUI elections the windows machine will win that one no matter what OS level is set for Samba. The windows machines have this nasty habit of thinking if they won one election they should win them all so they will force another election on TCP/IP. Lather, rinse and repeat. :-) Chris Smith wrote: On Thursday 29 March 2007, Chris Smith wrote: On the client: Set: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters IsDomainMaster False Adding to this.

Interesting observation, and I'll keep that in mind for the future. Although this wasn't the case on the aforementioned XP Media Center laptop. It's odd these days to find a system running NetBEUI, not to say that it doesn't happen, but unlike yesteryear it's not part of a default install. I am a little suspicious about the Media Center editions having a few extra tweaks in this area. Seems Samba should not lose these elections by default.
