SYMPTOMS
Browsing in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 may not work if TCP/IP is the only protocol installed.



CAUSE
When TCP/IP is the only protocol installed, there is no Browse Master election.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * Increase NBSESSIONS in the [TCPIP] section of the PROTOCOL.INI file to 10. Add a setting called NUMNAMES to the [TCPIP] section of the PROTOCOL.INI file and set it to 11.

-or-
 * Add the line MaintainServerList=YES to the [NETWORK] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

-or-
 * Use NetBEUI in conjunction with TCP/IP.
