I have been looking at the event log on the computer named 'Mainoffice' for the day the network stopped working and have found the following error report.

The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer JOY-HI31B5STCYQ that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{528C7BAB-649. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.

Can you make any sense of it? Gratefull for any help.
