Re: master browser error and ongoing connection problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

On a peer-to-peer network one computer takes on the role of being
the Browse Master. You can manually change a Registry setting to
nominate one computer as the Browse Master. Doubtful this event is
the cause of the problem. If you only have two PCs, I'd just set each
to use a Static IP address instead of DHCP.

The Registry key for Domain Master is found at:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
Keyname = IsDomainMaster
Set Value to True for one PC and False for all others. This will stop
elections from occurring.

Hi,
I have a draytek wireless router with 2 wireless PC's connected to it.
Both XP Pro. One with IE 7 and one with IE6. I seem to be loosing my
internet connection on the IE6 machine a little to regularly. I am still
connected to the router (or at least that is what the wireless connection
icon is telling me) and it has given me an IP address but I am unable to
connect to it via its 192. x address. Outlook is also not getting a
connection.

I have checked in the Event Viewer but there is nothing that corresponds
to the same times. What I am getting a lot of on both computers is Event
ID: 8003 with the following description.
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer
OFFICE that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on
transport NetBT_Tcpip_{744E20D8-D392-495B-A1. The master browser is
stopping or an election is being forced.

Is this normal?

Cheers

Lenny
