I am working on a business network of 10+ computers. Most are Windows XP
Pro, but there are Windows 2000 Pro, Windows 98, & Windows NT computers in
the mix along with a Windows 2000 Server that is simply used for file
storage. These computers are networked to a 24 port switch which has a DSL
modem/router hooked up to it that does DHCP through the switch. When going
to My Network Places on XP & 2000, computers that are sharing files &
folders are not listed. They can be accessed by typing in \\<COMPUTERNAME>.
Is this a Computer Browser / Master Browser issue in Services? Should it be
set to automatic on all machines or enabled only on one machine (Windows
2000 Server) while disabled on all the others?
Also in My Network Places, when I click on Entire Network and the WORKGROUP
is listed, I usually cannot browse the network at all when double-clicking
on the WORKGROUP. Is that also related to Computer Browser / Master
Browser?
Thanks,
