I'll take a good look at Using Samba and see what I can learn. From my memory of old logs, the box that is causing me grief (a W2K box) was always trying to grab the Master status from my server. I guess that this is what is happening here. So - the log I quoted is from the samba server. The samba server should stay the master browser (fingers crossed). I'll try adding the samba server IP into the wins server line. Thanks for the suggestion. Anne
