Storage? I am Storage!
At work we have 28 computers on their own network. No DNS server, each computer has it's own permanent address. This network is NOT connected to the outside world.
About half of the computers have had the Computer Browser service turned off. The rest become the Master Browser or Backup Browser as needed and it is left up to the computers to figure out who is what. This network is a mix of XP, Server 2003 and a few Win2000 boxes. (The only reason we run Server 2003 is to be able to run MS SQL server.)
For some reason last week, we found we had no Master Browsers. The system still works, but no computers show up in My Network Places or after a search.
Where and how do you even start to figure something like this out.
Any help or ideas would be greatly apprieciated.

PS: We installed a Linux box with Samba on the network to act as the Master Browser. This is a band-aid repair.
