One of our Windows 7 workstations has become the master browser for our domain, and our Samba server is unable to become it.

Windows 7 took over again yesterday, though I was able to regain by restarting nmbd.

Again today when I rebooted our server, it would not regain master browser from a Windows 7 desktop until I powered the Win7 machine down.
