I don't think so. There are a couple of machines that insist on it.
Both of them are the guys who aren't logged into the domain.
This machine is also dual homed - wireless and wired ethernet.
I even have the DHCP server setting macallan as the WINS server. Is
there any way *I* can tweak the registry to disable them from announcing
themselves as the master browser?
I think I've tried just about everything on the PDC to disable this...
