you need to make samba cause an election on startup. ensure you
have these lines in your smb.conf

local master=yes
os level=65
preferred master=yes

this will help for local LAN machines, but not over a WAN

do you have multiple LANs connected? or just individual 
machines connecting in?

this is all caused because nmbd erases the "browse.dat" file when
it starts. i wonder if there is a command to prevent this from
occuring. i haven't gone looking for it myself.
