This article was previously published under Q143153 SYMPTOMS
A Windows NT primary domain controller (PDC) and a Windows NT client
computer reside on the same physical subnet and the same domain. The client
computer can connect to a network share on the PDC. In the Windows NT PDC,
the following system event appears in Event Viewer:
Event ID: 8003
Description: The master browser has received a server announcement
from the computer <Windows NT client> that believes that it is the
master browser for the domain on transport <NetBT>. The master
browser is stopping or an election is being forced.
In the Windows NT client computer, the following system events appear in
Event Viewer:
Event ID: 8009
Description: The browser was unable to promote itself to master
browser. The computer that currently believes it is the master
browser is <PDC>.
Event ID: 8019
Description: The browser was unable to promote itself to master
browser. The browser will continue to attempt to promote itself
to the master browser, but will no longer log any events in Event
Viewer.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the subnet mask of the Windows NT client computer is
incorrect or different from the PDC. The client computer attempts to
promote itself to the master browser of the subnet and fails.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, change the TCP/IP protocol configuration to the
correct subnet mask.
