Sorry for delay in response wilhelm_voigt. I have 4 separate Windows 2003 based domain controllers so definitely I dont want this machine to be a DC.
Can XP machines be master browsers because most of the machines in nmbd.log file are xp based desktops and laptops? Changing of master browser all the time doesn't look a normal activity, does it?

Thanks
Thank you!
If you have a separate domain controller, you should probably NOT mess with those settings though.
