If I don't put localmaster=yes, here is what I get... 192.168.0.177 being the linux system.
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.
smbclient -L localhost
on the Samba machine reports a working Samba and shares? You do not have to force Samba to be the local master browser. If it is for your environment better to let XP take this role then let it go. Also care that reannouncing of the browse list can take up to 12 minutes.
