(This is not a guarantee, but gives it a chance.) Set the value to No if you do not
want your Samba server selected as the local master. Local Master is Auto by default.
Domain master??”Set this to Yes if you want the Samba server (nmbd daemon) to
identify itself as the domain master browser for its workgroup. This list will then allow
client computers assigned to the workgroup to use SMB-shared files and printers from
subnetworks that are outside their own subnetwork. This is set to No by default.
If browsing isn??™t working, check the nmbd log file (/var/log/samba/log.nmbd). To
get more detail, increase the debug information level to 2 or 3 (described earlier in this
section) and restart Samba. The log can tell you if your Samba server is the master browser and, if so,
which computers are on its list.

WINS Options
Use the WINS options if you want to have a particular WINS server provide the name-to-address
translation of NetBIOS names used by SMB clients:
WINS server??”If there is a WINS server on your network that you want to use to
resolve the NetBIOS names for your workgroup, enter that server??™s IP address here.
Again, you probably want to use a WINS server if your workgroup extends outside the
local subnetwork.
