Re: Server not visible in network browser



Hi John,

Thanks for your reply.

I made deep research on this issue, please check the following:

Step 1: The problem occurs when network is not correctly configured. Please
rerun the CEICW again to made network configuration.

More information:

825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

Step 2: Check the following on NIC

1. Disable "NetBios Over TCP/Ip" on external card and unchecked the option
Register this address under DNS

2. Enable "NetBios over TCP/IP" on Internal card and check that option
Register this address under DNS.

3. Restart the NetLogon services and do ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig
/registerdns.

Step 3: It would appear that the server is not set up as master browser.

Please set the SBS server as browser master in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters]
"IsDomainMaster"="FALSE"

sett =FALSE to =TRUE

Step 3: Disable Load balancing from internal network card.

If it's determined that load balancing had been enabled on the internal
interface. Since it is attempting to balance with the external NIC which
had Netbios diabled the name would not appear in My Network Places.

Step 4: The problem may be also related to the NIC. Some Servers using
NC3163 does not appears on browser

If the problem persists, please help me collect the following for further
research:

MPS-Report on SBS server

1) Download MPSreport_network from

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE
2) Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.
3) The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\
5) Send the .cab file directly to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
39239466- Server not visible in network browser

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
