I think I'm having problem with master browser in an office with multiple
versions of OS running and no domain controller.
The specific symtom is everytime I reboot one of my PC, I'm no longer
allowed to browse the workgroup I was in before rebooting.
All I want to do is to share files between two specific PCs that I have
control over. If I know the network paths of these PCs (both running
windowsXP), do I need the master browser? Should I disable master browser on
the two PCs I have control over, to reduce master browser election?
Also, I read that each PC with file and print sharing sends an update to the
master browser every 12 minutes. Is there a way to force an instant
network-wide refresh so that I can be sure the master browser is current --
after some PCs are rebooted?
