clients not seeing complete browse list

[James W. Beauchamp]

Ross:
I had a set of problems not unlike yours and it turned out to be related to
the fact that the windoze clients had the netbeui protocol loaded (in some
cases they had ipx as well - for what reason I don't know).  I had to go to
each workstation and remove all protocols except tcp/ip and then everything
was fine.

Hope this helps.

James
