Okay, so when this client machine asks the browse master for a list
of machines on the network, that one server is missing from the list
it gets back. But it's not missing from the list that other machines
get back, so it doesn't have the "Nide me from the browse master"
flag set in its registry.
If the browse master wouldn't talk to this client machine at all,
then you'd see nothing in Network Neighborhood, and perhaps get an
error message. I wonder if it's getting the NN info from a backup
browser, or trying to be its own browse master.
What protocols are installed on these two machines?
What workgroup/domain is each in?
Is either machine using WINS? Are they pointing at the same
servers? Is either *hosting* WINS?
