I have about 30 PCs in my workgroup . with OS of win2000, XP. and Win98.
WinXP computers have no NETBEUI installed. 2000 servers and win 98 computers
have NETBEUI. it worked well until 2 days ago. workgroup became unaccessable.
and I found only the computer has the NETBEUI installed can become the
MasterBrower.
Computers with only TCP/IP intalled can not find the Master Browser , cannot
Browser the workgroup and will NEVER elect a masterbrower.

Message from Browstat:
Status for domain workgroup on transport \Device\Nbf_{AXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser name is: STOCK1
Could not connect to registry, error = 53 Unable to determine build

All computers have NetBIos over TCP/IP on. and some xp computers have been
configed as preferred Master Browser. but still connot win the election.

Please help me. :-(

One last thing to try, get one machine and put Windows 2000 Server on
it, IT will AUTOMATICALLY become the Master Browser. As long as there
is a server in the system, IT is in charge!!!
I have 21 computers here and 2 servers, I NEVER fiddle with the Master
Browser settings, and they all work just fine.
I have Win98, ME, 2000 Pro, and XP Home and Pro and 2000 Server
machines. I have had some Linux machines in the loop for a while and
they worked fine too.
