Windows uses the browser service or search service to discover the network environment. Since the browser service works with broadcasts, the network environment in routed networks is incomplete if no domains are used. Support of the search service closes this gap by propagating the master browser for each local workgroup to the remote side, or by using broadcasts in the LAN to propagate the master browsers located on the remote side. The list of master browsers known to the NetBIOS proxy can be viewed under /Status/TCP-IP/NetBIOS/Browser-List. Support of the search service only needs to be activated in workgroup networks. Domain networks operate without broadcasts, and the master browser is always the domain controller.
