Heck, I've seen Windows 3.11 clients become master browser on an W2K network...
Solved that by disabling the Computer Browser Service on any and all workstations..

Am I the only one, or do you ever find error codes, problems or messages that try to lead you astray and DON'T point to the real problem?
Windows is filled with error messages that don't actually mean anything

I really, really hate using a Dutch version of Windows.. Can't find anything.. They've translated everything.. Had an error message, in Dutch offcource, once... Took me 3 days to figure out what was wrong..

The message said something about a "benoemde sluis" (that's dutch .... After spending many, many hours searching for cluess I finally found it meant a "named pipe".. After that I had it fixed in about 3 seconds.. Never touched a Dutch version of Windows after that...
