Master browser toggle for ARM/DUO V2 how do I set it?

[Roxy1]

I have a ReadyNas Duo V2 and I am trying to make it the master browser device in our network. I had this setup before - however it was sheer luck from the rotation of other devices.
I know there was a tool for this, for the SPARC based units - how do I do it for this ARM V2?

It seems that there is no ToggleMasterBrowser Add-on available for ReadyNAS OS 5 Arm-based units.

Not one that I've seen either. It'd be helpful if Netgear could provide one.

Reading further, the ToggleMasterBrowser is actually intended to disable the device from being the master browser. I wanted to do the opposite.
I still haven't found where to edit the config or how to SSH into the device and find that file.

Perhaps one option is to disable the computer browser service on the client pcs.

That's all done, every NT based device is set properly. And I've now done the same for my MX2 Linux device. Hopefully the NAS stays as master.

If its the only browser service available, it has to win the election process.

Even if you can force election, you can still end up with multiple master browsers.

So far so good!
