Browser errors

[Graham]

hi all
Been having some serious problems this morning with event log errors etc.

We have a 3 dc in our domain
One of the errors reads

"Event Type: Warning
Event Source: BROWSER
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8021
Date: 10/05/2004
Time: 10:07:19 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The browser was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master
\\FILESERVER on the network
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{5E6F47E4-85E3-40ED-A3E1-D3938384A9DE}. The data is the
error code.
Data:
0000: 40 00 00 00 @... "

This has been happening for a few days know
Any ideas what to check for
Thankyou
Graham

This could be a benign error depending on your current situation. Can you
still browse your domain? Can you browse different subnets? If you have
different subnets, are the browse lists consistent? If you can browse
everything ok, eventually another browser master will be elected and the
error will disappear. Run the BROWSTAT utility with the STA parameter and
verify your master and backup browsers. You want to particularly run the
BROWSTAT utility on the FILESERVER in question to make sure all is well.
