It looks like samba is having trouble finding the Master Browser.  It is possible
that there is not one on that subnet.  If you do not have a smb.conf line:
wins server = 1.2.3.4 
(Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the master browser) you might try that.
If you do have a wins server line, it would be some kind of communication
problem.
