You need one machine on the network to be the "master".  It's 
recommended on a small network that this be your primary file server. 
It should be a machine that's on all the time (or at least more often 
than other desktops).

Making a desktop machine that turns off from time to time master is a 
bad idea, as when it turns off the other machines then get lost for a 
while as they all fight for master status.
