Master Browser Question

[Guntha]

I have 2 new 4.0 workstation PC's on my network. They were on a P2P network before and I recently added them to my LAN. Problem is now I am getting 1011 errors stating that one of the new NT 4.0 WS is trying to be the master browser? Any way to shut down that function on an NT w/s? I know how to do it on a 9x box but not on an NT W/S.. Is ther a reg hack or something I need to do?

Thanks!!

This usually happens when the subnet mask on the client PC is different from that of the PDCs.

Check the subnet mask on both the PDC and the client PC to make sure they are the same. MCSE NT4/W2K

Alternatively,

Has the registry hack and the values you're after. MCSE NT4/W2K

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters]
"IsDomainMaster"="No"
"MaintainServerList"="No"

There could be 2 reasons for this:
1) The NT workstation in question was getting its IP from a DHCP server on the other network and it has not been re-configured for the network it is on now.
2) The NIC card is set to (Possibly Hardware Default) when in actuality it should be set to the duplex of the switch on the network. (ie: 100 Full)
