Q: My AT has been working fine for a long time. Recently, trying to access my
files, I keep getting the error: "No Browse Master Found"
Network Configuration
Local IP Address = 192.168.1.100
Audiotron Name = Atron0050b2
Local MAC address = 00:04:32:00:50 2
Local Net Mask = 255.255.255.0
Local Gateway = 192.168.1.1
Local DNS server = 68.10.16.30

A: It sounds like your Host computer is blocking access to shared files.
Try to access your Host from another computer on the Network if possible.
If connection cannot be established, then you know it is a share, rights,
security or firewall issue that prevents connection. Once you reestablish
the link, the AT should have no problem finding your MP3s.
* On the AT WebServer's File Access Settings, change USE NETBIOS SHARED
FOLDER LOCATION PROTOCOL to SEARCH ENTIRE IP SUBNET FOR SHARED FOLDERS,
and this should take care of the error.
* Erase the original Atron User Account you previously created and create
a new one.
* In XP make sure that the Security is set up so that "Everyone" is
listed and access is granted.

More explanation:
-----------------
The Concept of Browser Service:
The Windows NT Browser system consists of a master browser, backup
browsers, and browser clients. The computer that is the master browser
maintains the browse list and periodically sends copies to the backup
browsers. When a browser client needs information, it obtains the current
browse list by remotely sending a NetServerEnum application programming
interface (API) call to either the master browser or a backup browser.
A browser is a machine on a NetBIOS network which can resolve names for
other machines. There is a protocol for electing a master browser (others
may be backup browsers). The purpose of a browser is largely to reduce
broadcast traffic (which can also be used to resolve NetBIOS names).
You can think of a browser as an analog to DNS for a NetBIOS network.
(In pure Win2K networks, (D)DNS is used to resolve NetBIOS names as well).
