I've never seen a command that can tell. With a good packet sniffer you could look at the sender when a browse list is sent.

Goto a PC and type...

net view /workgroup:"My Workgroup"

...using the quotes to. This will force the browse list to be sent to that PC from teh Master or backup.

You can get a lot of these technical details from http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/win95/technote/w95brows.asp

After some experiences, I came to think that it's the one that's been on for the longest time on the network.
