Cannot Adjust Browse Master

[bob legg]

I have an XP with SP1 installed

Enternet and Linksys54G cards

System is slow to discover the other systems on the network which I believe
is the old Browse Master issue.

When I try to adjust the settings for Browse Master which should be under
the properties of File & Printer sharing I cannot as the Properties option
is greyed out.

I am logged on as Adminstrator.

Any ideas?

Regards

Bob

That's where the Browse Master setting is in Windows 95/98/Me, but XP
is different.

In XP, enable or disable the "Computer Browser" service:

1. Right click My Computer, and click Manage.
2. Double click Services and Applications.
3. Double click Services.
4. Double click Computer Browser.
