master browser error after moving a PC

[Gary]

I recently moved a PC from one plant to the main office. THe plant is
on a different subnet than the main office.

Since we set the PC up in the main office, I have begin receiving the
following error, and am uncertain of what to do next. Apparently this
Windows 98 PC was the master browser at the other subnet. We are on a
Windows 2000 network, two windows 2000 domain controllers, and one NT
4 server.

here is the error:

Disable Master Browser on the Win98 Machine. Apparently it thinks that
it is still Browse Master but by election or appointment it has lost its
pecking order to W2K or NT4.

Easiest way around this is to configure the Windows 98 Machine not to
be a master browser or backup browser:
