That is not the workgroup name, it's a substitute. Reason? Long story, not
really relevant.

that doesn't sound like a samba box...that sounds more like a Windows
box that is trying to be a WINS server for that workgroup at the same
time your Samba box is in a different workgroup...just guessing

All boxes, windows and linux boxes have the same workgroup name.

Probably easiest to have all computers on the LAN have the same
workgroup name at which point samba using 'wins support = true' and an
OS level of say > 33 should effectively win all browsing elections and
cut down on the noise

OK - so do you suggest that I have 'wins support = true' AND 'wins server =
192.168.0.30' (the samba server IP)?

Other boxes have OS level set to 33 and the server was set to 66, though when
I went to the slimmed down version recommended in 'Samba 3 by Example' that
was taken out. I'll put it back in.
