Configuration Details
Appendix A
The following configuration details are required to make the browsing
operation work correctly:
•
The PDCs of all domains should be Windows NT
Version 3.5 or later.
•
All stations must use WINS to allow services to be recorded
properly.
•
The client should disable the ability to be a browse master.
This will prevent the client from browsing except when the
user asks for a browse list. This reduces delays caused by
broadcasting for the MB in the background.
•
For Windows 95:
–
Control panel - Networks - File and Print Sharing for
Microsoft
–
Networks - Properties - Advanced - BrowseMaster -
Disabled
•
For WFW 3.11:
–
system.ini
–
[Network]
–
MaintainServerList=No
Note that this is only necessary on clients that will encounter
browsing problems because their broadcast queries will not be
routed correctly. If a master browser exists on the subnet, the
disabling will not be necessary.
