Under the Configuration tab, under the heading "The following network components are installed:", scroll to the bottom and select "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks". Now click the Properties button. You'll find Browse Master there. -----Original Message----- From: Mary Wolden <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, October 06, 1999 3:49 PM Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Home Network >From: Kyle Elmblade: Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Home Network > > >> I have run into this problem before as well.
