Computer browser in Windows 7?

[Yousuf Khan]

In earlier versions of Windows there was a utility called browstat.exe

available for download for determining computer browser problems. Is

this still available for Win 7 or has it been replaced by something else?



Specifically, I'd like to determine which computer on my network has

been elected master browser.

Okay, I guess there were no takers on this question. Anyways, I found

the solution on my own, so if others need to look for this solution in

the future, I'll just put the link for it here.

Thanks for posting the solution. I've never needed this information

myself, but who's to say I won't find a need for it next week?

It's used when you need to fix 8003 or 8004 error events in the system

log. Here's an example:

These problems occur on workgroup computers. I needed to find out if

there were any other computers were trying to become the master browser

in my network.
