[Wolves] Network problems

[Mark Ellse]

Dear All,

We have a Windows peer-to-peer network here (with a number of linux 
servers thanks to Ron). Recently we have intermittantly found problems 
in browsing the network as follows:

The network is working clearly working fine. We can use the internet, 
ping other machines, even log onto them by the shortcuts that Windows 
remembers, but we can't browse the network because if we click 
'Computers near me' it says:

Workgroup is not accessible
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

Obviously the master browser has gone down in some way. Is it telling 
the network that it is doing the job, but not actually doing so? Is 
there any easy way on a network of thirty machines of finding which is 
the master browser?

Any advice would be appreciated?

Cheers,

Mark
