>>Hope some one can help with this,
>>One of my NT4 workstations keeps calling elections because it thinks that it is the master browser.
>>I have checked my cabling, and all seems in order (ie the PC is not dropping a connection and then re-entering the lan)
>>The server seems to be set up properly as does the workstation.
>>I do not want to disable the server service on the workstation, how can I inform it that it is not master browser?

>If this value is No, this server is not a browse server. If this value is Yes, this server becomes a browse server. It attempts to contact the Master Browse Server to get a current browse list. If it cannot find the Master Browse Server, it forces an election and is, of course, a candidate to become the master.
>If MaintainServerList is Auto, this server may or may not become a browse server, depending on the results of the Registry exchange with the Master Browse Server.

>If MaintainServerList is set to Yes, the computer is configured to always be a backup browser.


Cheers, works a charm!
