Hello Rob,
Thank you for your update.
From the results of "browstat status", it seems the protocols installed on
the browser master and the problematic Windows Server 2003 system are
different. Please also install IPX/SPX protocol on the Windows Server 2003
machine, reboot it, and check if the problem still persists.
If the problem still persists, please let me know more information as
follow for further analysis:
1. Please run "ipconfig /all" on both the browser master and the
problematic Windows Server 2003 system, and post the results.
2. Please let me know if the problem occurs on other Windows systems. If
not, please pick a system which works well, run both "browstat status" and
"ipconfig /all" and let me know the results.
Thanks, and have a nice weekend!
Regards,
Joe Wu
