First off I would get rid of NetBEUI, it is a legacy
protocol that wil just throw a bunch of unwanted traffic
on your network.
If this is a Windows 2000 (or 2003) domain I have read
that you can publish your shares in Active Directory.
Since Win2k and XP have LDAP querying tools built right
into the OS (and win98 machines can download the AD
querying tools) that will be much more reliable than
relying on master browser, domain master browsers,
elections.....what a pain in the rump.
Also, if most of your machines are win2k or above then
why not put the server's IP in DNS and when people need
to get to the system they just go to start + run and type
in
\\server\share
(or the fully qualified domain name)
\\server.domain.com\share
Lastly, if all of your network clients point to the same
WINS server (or to WINS servers that replicate their
entries with one another) then you can do the "Start"--
>"Run" --> UNC share thing listed above. If I were you I
would work towards having your entries in DNS (win2k and
xp clients can be set to update their own entries in DNS
if you like.... if you do not think it is a security risk)
Good luck,
