5/18/2023 0 Comments Virtual timeclock pro 11 release 1I did a little searching on the net and found one site where the person reported similar results: I know that it is also possible for one of my macs to act as a master browser by configuring samba, but I would prefer to use my windows systems as I leave them running most of the time, where as I mainly use my one macbook and it is only on when I use it. Also on my macs I used the command "nmblookup -M -," command to confirm my XP machine was the master browser. I also used the "nbtstat -a " command to verify which PC was my master browser from a windows command prompt. To be sure of what I found I disabled the computer browser service on all of my windows machines and then left one enabled at a time until I found that my macs can browse fine with XP as the master browser. If I allow either my 7 or Vista systems to be the master browser my macs cannot browse my windows workgroup at all, and I get mixed results trying to connect by using "Connect to server" and putting in the windows name, but it always works by IP address. I have found that the macs can only browse to my windows machines if one of my XP systems is the master browser. Originally I thought my iMac running Tiger was also having the issue that the Leopard macs have, but I have found that it will act as its own master browser and works fine after doing a little more troubleshooting. I have configured both Leopard systems to be on the same Windows workground, I am not aware of how to set this on tiger but it doesn't seem to make a difference anyhow. On the windows side I have 2 XP machines, 1 Vista and 1 Windows 7 RC1. I currently have 2 Macbooks running 10.5.8 that both have the same issue. At this point I know exactly what is happening, but am not sure exactly why its happening and what to do to resolve it, so with that here is my explanation (sorry that its quite long): I have spent a good deal of time troubleshooting this issue with my OSX machines being unable to browse to my windows machines through the network window of Finder. I would prefer to know why this issue is occurring, not a guess or speculation. Additionally I have continued to research this issue on the net and it seems there a numerous suggestions which some how have worked for only some people. Hi all, Just so you know I have also posted this question on Apple's discussion forums to see what responses I get there.
