Here is what I get now form system log after making your suggested changes. So I assume that is working...If your samba machine is running continuously then set:
local master = yes os level = 65 preferred master = yes
This way - after service smb restart - your Samba server should win master browser election against each Windows[tm] machine in you LAN. If you have more Samba machines you have to choose one machine to be local master and the others to be not. All options are commented inside smb.conf and in the Samba docs.

But now (and before those changes) when I try to access my linux machine from my win lap top, I get the message that says cannot find path \\p2\opt. p2 being the name of the Linux machine. It used to work, but now for some reaons, it doesn't.
