Hello George,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
At this moment, I'd like to thank our MVP Phillip for his kindly input.
As far as I know, the browser service maintains a list of the domain name
or workgroup name the computer is in, and the protocol being used for each
computer on the network segment being served by the computer running the
browser service. On each network segment, a master browser is elected from
the group of computers located on the segment that are running the browser
service.
The master browser is responsible for collecting host or server
announcements, which are sent as datagrams every 12 minutes by each server
on the network segment of the master browser. The master browser instructs
the potential browsers for each network segment to become backup browsers.
The backup browser on a given network segment provides a browse list to the
client computers located in the same segment.
For more information about Microsoft Browser service, please refer to the
following articles:
