Even with a wins server?   I thought having the wins server overrides the
need of having a master browser?  Most of the articles I have found said
this to be the case.  I know back in win98 we used to point to a public wins
server online and my buddies and I would share files that way, just doesn't
seem to be the case now a day.

Windows won't do cross-subnet browsing without a master browser on the
subnet that knows about all the hosts on the other side. This probably
should be in the FAQs if it isn't already. Network neighborhood uses
broadcast packets and broadcast packets don't cross network
boundaries.
