Event id 8021

[PerseP]

Hi,
now and then I get warnings with Event id 8021 on a Windows Xp sp2. I
have a home network with two computers with the same windows conected
to a switch and then to a router to the internet.

I searched microsoft and the only articles they have is for master
browsers computer (I only get the warning on the computer that isn't
master) or for computers with more than one nic ( my two computers only
have 1 network card).

Anyone can help?.

Yes, it is computer browser issue. To confirm that, stop the computer server of one computer.

Do you mean the computer browser service??. That will solve the problem
but then Ii won't be able to browse the file from the other computer :-(

As mentioned, this is just to conform the issue. What you can do is disable master browser on one of computers by following this instruction.
