Re: Do You Need NetBEUI for XP Pro/Win98SE to Share?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Whoops correction. After about 10min the Win98 can see all XP's on the network
and the XP Pro can see all computers on the network

The XP Pro has its Computer Browser Disabled in the services. The Win98 has
it's Master Browser enabled.

The only thing that changed it I brought the XP Home notebook on line. when I
ran browstat on the XP Home it said that the XP Home laptop was the Master
Browser.

When I ran browstat on the XP Pro it said:
Status for domain WORKGROUP on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DF65D9FC-4F5E-4AD1
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser name is: Laptop
Could not connect to registry, error = 53 Unable to determine build of br
owser master: 53
\\\\Laptop . Version:05.01 Flags: 51003 NT POTENTIAL MASTER
1 backup servers retrieved from master Laptop

Thanks
