| Description | Inability to Browse |
| Event Information | CAUSE: Domain controller that does not have file and printer sharing turned on RESOLUTION: 1. A Windows computer that becomes a backup browser but that does not have file and printer sharing turned on cannot share the browse list with clients. In the other words, any computer that is to be included in the browse list must also have file and printer sharing turned on. Make sure you have installed or turn on file and printer sharing on the domain controllers and on any computer that is in the browse list. 2. If the multihomed computer network cards are linked to the same subnet or the computer as master browser is using an incorrect subnet mask, unbind all but one of the TCP/IP subnet transport bindings from the workstation service; or remove all but one of the network cards or RAS connections; or at the command prompt type the following command: net stop browser. NOTE: After you perform these steps, wait at least 10 minutes to see if the errors still occur. 3. Also, you may want to check IPC$ status on the server by using net share command. |
