MSBROWSE

I have a server with 3 physical (2 logical) network interfaces. I have 2
physical interfaces in a teaming mode and the other interface is dedicated
to traffic that's routed to it from the internet (http/smtp/ftp/etc). I've
unchecked the option to update DNS on that connection as I don't want my
computers from inside the network even seeing it.

It keeps re-registering itself with an A record in DNS for '(same as parent
folder)' and in WINS I see it's set as the '--__MSBROWSE__-'

I definatelly don't want this interface being my master browser. How can I
force the system to use the other interface?

Thanks...

Is this a DC? If so does it hold the PDC emulator role? If this is the case
you should not multihome this machine or move the PDC emulator role to a
single homed DC>

It's the one and only server in my house. I don't really want to load up
another server just to be the pdc emulator. I suppose I could take an older
laptop to provide tha functionality, but is it really necessary? Also, if I
do that, what steps are necessary to switch the pdc role over?

Try changing the bindings order.
Advanced settings in Network and Dialup Connections
dialogue box.

My teamed adapters are listed first, bound to File and Printer Sharing and
Client for Microsoft Networks (both on TCP/IP). The individual adapters
from the team are listed next, bound to nothing. The last adapter is the
single interface that acts as the connection to the internet and it's bound
only to TCP/IP for the client for microsoft networks.

Now one thing to note, this server is not acting as a gateway or router to
the internet (just in case anyone thought that).

And how do I force a new domain controller to be the master browser or will
it become the master browser on it's own after a few elections take place?
