SYMPTOMS
Browsing in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 may not work if TCP/IP is the only
protocol installed.
CAUSE
When TCP/IP is the only protocol installed, there is no Browse Master
election.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Increase NBSESSIONS in the [TCPIP] section of the PROTOCOL.INI file to
10. Add a setting called NUMNAMES to the [TCPIP] section of the
PROTOCOL.INI file and set it to 11.
-or-
- Add the line MaintainServerList=YES to the [NETWORK] section of the
SYSTEM.INI file.
-or-
- Use NetBEUI in conjunction with TCP/IP.
