Re: Cannot browse the network after migration

It works(at least in the case of our internal network)!.
i hope that i don't run into other problems by disabling the secondary adapter netbt(since it's a round robin load balancing).

thanks a million!,

I'll test this tomorrow in the client network(because the PDC there isn't multihomed and the same error appears).

i'll send you en email/post here for that case.
