You made a good choice. You just need to get your network fixed :slight_smile:

I feel for you Hoobash, I have been having similar issues and they can be really complicated to troubleshoot. As flhthemi stated, it’s generally an issue on your network. Rebooting my windows computers solves the issue for me but I have spent a lot of time and testing to come up with a more reasonable solution, which I have yet to find. 

Anyways, I would check on a great post by TonyPh12345 that explains a lot about the problem and how to check for Master Browser issues.

@hoobash

Did you try my suggestion above, or was it more productive to give the other member a zinger?
