- suggests that problem is due to not having a master browser; force browser election by restarting all systems.
- There used to be other ways to force a browser election, but apparently it's more difficult in NT-based systems.
- Samba may have a way to do it. (Just restarting Samba should, but doesn't always.)
- suggests that problem is due to not having a master browser; force browser election by restarting all systems.
