Par2: Network speed
2000-03-16 -- Dave Schwartz
 
This may be totally unrelated, but bear with me... there might be a connection. We have a Win98 network and DSL. Our Unix box controls the DSL. The Unix machine was getting about 200k per second transfer rate while the Windows machines were getting only 25k. A local TCPIP guro told us to check the settings of the "Browse Master." Now, I had never heard of "Browse Master." Went to NetWork Neighborhood>Properties>File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks>Properties and there it was! Browse Master (supposedly) should be disabled. When we disabled it, and rebooted, the Windows machines were almost 9 times faster across the network! The guru's story was that the machines "fight each other" to be the "browse master." By disabling it, the fighting stops. Don't know if this helps, or even if it exists in NT, but it was worth a shot.
