Master browser

Hi,

I've got a box with Windows 2000 SBS, and I have XP Pro on most of the
boxes.
I have an XP w/s rebooting, I had a user go to the EV on the server and it
states that
this particular XP box thinks it's the master browser and then it gets
rebooted. There
is nothing in EV on the XP w/s though to help out.

Any thoughts on how to cripple this issue.

Thanks Craig
 
For the Windows NT'ish machines

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters

Set all but the pc designated as browse master to

MaintainServerList = "Auto"
IsDomainMaster = "False"

Hi,
I did what was suggested, as far as I can tell all the workstations have the
correct setting, I went to the
server and it had the setting of "auto" and "false" I changed the "false"
to "true". I'm sitting getting the message
in the EV that w/s's think that they are the MB. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help, Craig
