[BC] Windows NT Browse

[Art Reed]

Jeff,

This URL covers many aspects of the whole computer browser issue.  I 
think that in my case, I disabled the computer browser service on the 
Windows 2000 machines, which forced a browser election among other 
machines that shared well with others.

In a small mixed OS workgroup network, you may want to disable W2K/XP 
master browser and keep w9x or NT master browser because XP/W2K always 
win elections over others, and other previous OS doesn't understand it.  
To disable master browser on W2K/XP, go to Administrative 
Tools>Services, stop the Computer Browser.
