Browser Forced an Election

by eric . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

We currently have several clients running SBS 4.5 and WIN98 workstations and they all have information about the “browser master” in the system log. This doesnt seem to be causing any problems but I would like to know why and if there is a way to get rid of the messages.

Examples: Event ID 8015

The browser has forced an election on network
\Device\NetBT_AMDPCN1 because a Windows NT Server (or domain master) browser is started.

Event ID 8033

The browser has forced anelection on network \Deviuce\NetBT_AMDPCN1 because a master browser was stopped

Event ID 8021

The browser was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master \\ROSELIE01 on the network \Device\NetBT_E190x4. The data is the error code.

The last one is the one I really dont understand. This is supposed to be a client machine. How is it a browser master? All the clients in the network will have this message related to them but I dont understand why. I dont think there is a hardware issue because we have several clients running the same set up. Any help & information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
