I am having trouble with losing network shares on my wireless streaming media device. Research suggests it's because my laptop is not the master browser, and instead the media player is. I need to force it to recognise my computer as the master browser, but all the guides on google are complete gibberish to me. I need to have it explained step by step.
Can anyone help?

If you want samba to force an election on startup, then set the "preferred master" global option in smb.conf to "yes". Samba will then have a slight advantage over other potential master browsers that are not preferred master browsers.
