the "computer browser" service runs by default on all win nt workstations and servers. basically, this service builds the listing of computers you can view in network neighborhood. (or something like that, check the M$ site for more detailed info)
the master browser maintains the permanent list and keeps all systems up to date on available systems. sometimes a workstation will come up and believe it is the master browser. usually i just smack it around to show it whose boss. but seriously... disable the computer browser service on this system. i think M$ recommends disabling this service in large nt environments and making sure it is only running on pdc's and bdc's as well. at least three servers on @ subnet should be running the service. hope this helps, and i hope i was right.
