I have a small network with a couple win2000 server (sp4), a couple NT4 machines and a XP machine. I am unable to browse the XP machine. I can see the NT4 machines, just not the xp. When on the XP computer, I can see, use, browse the win2000 server. From the win2000 I can ping the XP pc.

Any ideas on how to be able to see the XP machine, I have a printer I am trying to share.

Thanks in advance.
 
Just an update-

From the XP Pro machine, I can see all the other pc's,
but from any other machine, there is no visibility.


HELP...

Since Windows NT is involved you'll likely need to bind NetBIOS over tcp/ip
and declare a browse master.
 
How do I delcare a browse master ??

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters

Set all but the pc designated as browse master to

MaintainServerList = "Auto"
IsDomainMaster = "False"

browse master;

MaintainServerList = "Auto"
IsDomainMaster = "True"
 
Thanks for the help.
