I have a Windows 2k workgroup consisting of a 2k server and 4 2k workstations, a Toshiba FC22 color copier/printer w/Fiery ZXP-01 printer server. When the Fiery is on the network it causes a browser election and sometimes wins and becomes the masterbrowser, which it doesn't have the capability of performing. Therefore, all my network connectivity fails. When the Fiery is removed from the network, the network eventually stablizes and all seems fine again. Anyone experience these issues or something similar with Fiery and Win2k?

It depends on what access you have to the Fiery. If it has a keyboard and monitor, and if you have a login account, the easiest fix is to place it in a different domain than your workstations, and let it become the browse master of that 1-station domain.

If you can get in, and if you can modify the registry, there will be a registry entry that will disable becoming a browse master. The relevant entries are:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\IsDomainMaster
should be set to 0.
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList
should be set to NO.

If you are not comfortable editing the registry, find someone who is. This is not a good area for experimentation.

Note that the registry keyscontain no spaces.

Good luck.

There is no domain it's just a workgroup, and I already tried the registry edits. And there is only a small digital display on the Fiery Server and its not assigned to a Domain in the setup menu.
