I'm working as a contractor in a small office, and they have a Windows2003
NAS device. I would like to set it so the NAS is the master browser, and all
the connecting computers in the workgroup are looking to it for name lookups
(has WINS server running on it as well). What are the registry settings I
would need on the server, and on the clients?

I can't browse the local computers. The current settings produce this when I
run a browstat status:
Status for domain <workgroup> on transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{B9046059-7D60-4FB6-8C5
8-E8871FC06A09}
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser name is: GIGAS
Could not connect to registry, error = 53 Unable to determine build
of br
owser master: 53
Unable to determine server information for browser master: 51
1 backup servers retrieved from master GIGAS
\\GIGAS
Unable to retrieve server list from GIGAS: 51
