I have several nt4 servers in the mix of unix and novell and nt is running an application and my windows95 station comes across the network to get to an application on the nt server. Well it use to work and now it doesn't I have turned off domain master browser option in registry but should i turn off maintain server list? Could that be keeping my win95 station from seeing the nt server in network neighborhood? Should I turn off maintain server list on the nt servers since there is no primarydomain controller? I've tried everything. The user goes into the software and it should connect to the server but doesn't because it can't find it.... Thanks,

1. can you ping the server from the 95 machine by both host name and ip address? if you can ping by ip, but not name, then it's a netbios name issue. try and use the lmhost file. if you can't ping either way, then it seems like a physical layer issue.
2. i'm assuming you're on a peer to peer cuz you have no pdc. in that case, master browser options, etc. won't matter really.

also, what protocols are installed on server and w/s? does the program require IPX? or TCP/IP? some programs don'tlike IPX running the same machine as the app.
