Does anyone know if there is a simple command line utility in Windows 2000 that will show which PC is the Master Browser? Is there 1 Master Browser per workgroup or is there only one on the entire network? NBTSTAT only seems to show it if you already know the computer name to put in.

There is no Domain involved. The network has 2000, 98, and a few 95 PC'S. As always, thanks in advance.

You need to get "browstat" from the Windows NT/2000 resource kit -- this will show which PC is acting as the master and various other information.
