Our network is mixed MS & NetWare. Some of our XP Pro desktops and some of our Windows 2000 Servers are broadcasting they are master browsers. It seems to me that's generating unnecessary network traffic, besides the aggravation of wading through all the warnings in the event logs. I've been told there's nothing we can do about it though. As a test I disabled my own Computer Browser service on my XP Pro laptop and I haven't seen any ill effects. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
