Thanks! Very helpful!
But how does one know which computer has "the Master Browser duties"
on a 2 computer home peer to peer net?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\
IsDomainMaster
True - Is the master browser
False - Is not the master browser
Auto: Resolve through browser elections (default)
The values can also be Yes, No, Auto or 0, 1, Auto.
Auto means that there will be a "Browser Election", but I prefer to call it a "Browser War". If there is no natural "pecking order" you will get constant elections, you will see that recorded in the Event Log. A pecking order will exist when computers are from different NT vintage or different Windows families, the PDC or Domain controller will always win the election over any other, XP Pro will win over Windows 2000, Windows 2000 will win over NT4 and so on. If both computers are XP Pro, or Windows 2000 etc, then they will constantly wage a "war" over this, best to set one computer to "True" and the other to "False".
