Network Browser problem

[Guest]

We have 2 windows 2000 std. servers with about 15 Windows XP Pro
workstations. Both servers are setup as domain controllers. Eng-Server-01
is the operations manager, manu-server-01 is the other server. We've been
getting the following error on the manu-server-01

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BROWSER
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8032
Date: 8/27/2007
Time: 11:28:01 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MANU-SERVER-01
Description:
The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on
transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{4EBE4AFF-1E40-4D91-9BAB-EDB5852B6C99}. The
backup browser is stopping.
Data:
0000: 7a 00 00 00 z...

When these errors start the users aren't able to browser the list of
computers or printer shares on those computers. No event log errors show up
on the eng-server-01 for this. I checked the following registry keys on both
server.

Manu-server-01
HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Services\Browsers\Parameters
IsDomainMaster false
MaintainServerList no

Eng-Server-01
HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Services\Browsers\Parameters
IsDomainMaster True
MaintainServerList Yes

These errors will go away after the eng-server-01 is restarted, and will not
show back up for about a month or two. The eng-server-01 is at 41 days since
the last restart, and the errors started about a week ago.
