Ok .. here is the error i am getting in logs
"The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer SERVER that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_EL98N41. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. "Can anyone help me please
Sumir

do you have a win2k server on the network- it would cause this. Stop it by doing a NET STOP BROWSER on the win2k server.

Check which computer is the domain master browser, normally it's your PDC.
Resource kit will provide you the tools to check for MB
If other computers want to force to be MB you can stop them from doing that\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
Allowable Values for the MaintainServerList parameter
Parameter Value Meaning
No===> This computer will never participate as a browser.Yes ===>This computer will become a browser. Upon startup, this computer attempts to contact the master browser to get a current browse list. If the master browser cannot be found, the computer will force a browser election. This computer will either be elected master browser or become a backup browser. Yes is the default value on a computer running Windows NT Server.
Auto ===> This computer, referred to as a potential browser, may or may not become a browser, depending on the number of currently active browsers. The master browser notifies this computer whether or not it will become a backup browser. Auto is the default value for computers running Windows NT Workstation
