293.0. "Can't Browse correctly with WIN95 and PW32" by GIDDAY::COOK (Matt Cook , CSC Sydney Australia) Wed May 14 1997 03:37

	G'day all,

		Can someone please give me a sainity check. I have a 
	customer who has a PW v5.0d server with about 80 clients. Most of
	the clients are WFW/PW using only the decnet transport , the connect
	fine , and can browse both the domain and servers fine.

	The w95 clients with PW32 using only the decnet transport can connect
	to and map drives on the server fine, they can browse the server fine
	via the RUN command \\server.

	If any w95 client double clicks on network neighborhood then he can not
	see any machines, not even his own machine.

	If I get the customer to add netbeui to his w95 client he can then still
	do all above , as well in network neighborhood he can now see himself and
	browse the domian but can't see anything because nothing else is running 
	netbeui. 

	The WFW clients can see the VMS server as well as the w95 clients.

	Any ideas, I can't reproduce this behaviour.


	Thanks,

	Matt

	I think there was a specialist here (Atlanta) that had a cusotmer with the same problem yesterday; I'll follow up to see what his resolution was, if any. To the engineers and/or anyone else who might know -- is there a way with '95 to see information about the browser service? If it's enabled (file & print sharing turned on and f&p propertied Advanced tab's Browse Master property set to Enabled) any way to make sure that it's bound to all the protocols? Both .0 and the questions I was getting yesterday make it sound as though DECnet's NetBIOS interface and the browser service aren't talking. -Steven

	re .0 I have one customer with the similar configuration. The server is 5.0 ECO1.They have installed 3 PW32 clients on the Win95 with NetBEUI (not sure) and DECnet (sure). The rest of PC's is WFW with DECnet only (PW6 ECO2 and the latest MS patches for vredir.386 and similar stuff). As I remember I have seen full list of WFW clients on the WIN95. I am nearly sure that none of the WFW clients run NetBEUI and DECnet simultaneously, which would be the only way how to see the full list (There is at least one master browser for each transport and they can be on different machines). I can check it tommorow by phone. re .1 I think that SHOW ASTAT (from PW6) kit should work either on the WIN95 side or from WFW client. On the computer which is Master browser you can see something like: 14 __MSBROWSE__ 01 ? Group 84h Registered There is also Browser monitor on the NT40 server resource kit. It works providing that DECnet is running on the NT machine. Regards Jiri
