Hi folks,

My DHCP server is acting up a bit. I am getting errors on my event viewer
and each day I have to reboot the server. I have set up my staff DHCP scope
but it is picking the addresses randomaly. I deleted all address leases but
when they started to get them again the were starting at 100 and then into
200 and back to 100's again. I am getting 2 mail Event id errors now. They are

Event ID 8009: Source=Browser

"The browser was unable to promote itself to master browser. The computer
that currently believes it is the master browser is BUSWEB. "


Event ID 8005: Source=MRxSmb

"The browser has received a server announcement indicating that the computer
DNSMSQ is a master browser, but this computer is not a master browser. "

i cannot seem to find a solution on them.Has anyone come across this before

If you don't have a domain controller, you will have servers arguing with
each other as to whom will be the browser master for the workgroup. In a
domain setting the PDC (or PDC emulator on a Win2K AD domain) will elect
itself the master browser automatically.
