PC cannot browse the network or see master browser

Asked by emerson132 in Windows NT Networking, Windows 2003 Server, TCP/IP

Tags: , , ,

Hello, I am having an issue with a PC on my domain, it cannot browse the network. It seems to either think that it is the master browser or it cannot talk to the master browser.

I have run some browstat queries on the pc here are the results.

Status for domain DATEL on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DFC88203-338D-4042-9B7
2-82D391467B2F}
    Browsing is NOT active on domain.
    Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus.


C:\Program Files\Support Tools>browstat getpdc sofia
Usage: BROWSTAT GETPDC <Transport> <Domain>
Get PDC name (using NetBIOS).

Type "BROWSTAT" to list all switches.

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>browstat getpdc sofia datel
The browser is not bound to transport sofia

List of transports currently bound to the browser

     1 \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DFC88203-338D-4042-9B72-82D391467B2F}

BROWSTAT accepts any of the following forms for transport name:
    1, \device\XXX, XXX


C:\Program Files\Support Tools>browstat getmaster sofia datel
The browser is not bound to transport sofia

List of transports currently bound to the browser

     1 \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DFC88203-338D-4042-9B72-82D391467B2F}

BROWSTAT accepts any of the following forms for transport name:
    1, \device\XXX, XXX

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>browstat stats
Unable to query browser statistics: 2184

Also the registry keys in Browser Parameters have been set to

isDomainMaster = False
maintainserverlist = Auto (however when I changed this to No) and ran browstat status I received this error :

Status for domain DATEL on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DFC88203-338D-4042-9B7
2-82D391467B2F}
    Browsing is NOT active on domain.
    Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus.

Rather than

Status for domain DATEL on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{DFC88203-338D-4042-9B7
2-82D391467B2F}
    Browsing is NOT active on domain.
    Master name cannot be determined from Support1 (where support1 is the machine name)


Server Sofia is the Master Browser and PDC. I am really stuck here.
