Hi,

I was getting browser error 8021 and 8032 in my system log and then my
Windows 2003 std sp2 server would lose communication and have to be rebooted.
Not sure if it's related, but when I later tested with browstat status from
that machine I would get (on average) 10 successful results and then a result
with the line above (the master browser it was using was also the domain
master). I moved the FSMO roles to another DC and then ran browstat status
and received successful results from the new Domain Master Browser every time
(I ran it at least a couple hundred times.) My questions:

1. Do you think the 8021 and 8032 errors and the browstat error were
related? The server in question runs an application which relies heavily on
NetBIOS.

2. What kinds of things might have caused the original domain master to be
flaky?

Thanks!

Jamie

Thanks, Meinolf.

I'm beginning to wonder if the error message are a result and not a cause. I
found this:

and this:

My NIC is the NC373i. I'm going to try disabling the offload stuff and see
if that helps.
