make a server a master browser

[Guest]

Hi

I have a windows 2000 advanced server and am getting the followin error

Event ID 8009:
"The browser was unable to promote itself to master browser. The computer
that currently believes it is the master browser is BUSWEB. "

Busweb is the name of a different server. I am trying to get the server that
is giving the error as master browser??

many thanks for that help Jerold. It worked great. I am still however getting
an MRxSmb error (Event ID 8005)

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

Have you seen this before.
