<para>There are <link linkend="configuration_network_browselist">four methods</link> to retrieve the browse list: The default one is to scan the network neighborhood for all available master browsers. The second and third method directly query a master browser to get the browse list. The difference is that the former is a dynamic one, where the current master browser of your workgroup or domain is looked up and used, and the latter is a static one, where a fixed name or IP address is used. It is recommended that you choose the dynamic method. However, there might be circumstances that make it necessary to use a static name or IP address. The last method searches for all registered IP addresses within a given broadcast area. This might come in handy on poorly performing network neighborhoods.</para>
