I have a laptop connected to a PC. The connection is set up correctly and works most of the time. I have a connection issue when both computers are booted at the same time. It is like Windows has some kind of problem connecting them.
If I boot one up 30 seconds or so before the other, they connect just fine.
In “Network Connections” the connection is listed and says it is connected. However, they don’t ping.
I checked the event logs and the laptop gets an error when they don’t connect: Event ID: 8003
?The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer XYZ_PC (the PC) that believes that it is the master browser for the domain??
I’ve checked the Subnet and they are both correct. I’ve stopped the “Computer Browser” service on the PC and the error goes away, but they still don’t connect.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thank you.
