DC acting all funky in Network Neighborhood

[Taoron]

All member servers / workstations are disappearing from network neighborhood and I have no idea why!

Computer Browser is turned on on the DC, as well as all workstations.

Workstation & Server services are started.

I checked event long, this is the only odd thing I can find:

Description:
The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{94339906-6097-427F-B495-DE8911AAD1C1} because a Windows 2000 Server (or domain master) browser is started.

When you have one missing, what happens if you go into the windows explorer bar and type \\missingpcname? Glen A. Johnson

Sometimes it opens that computer, or it says it cannot find the computer name. Most of the time it opens the shared folders list.

Check this out. I have to agree with the last statement. I turn off browsing on all machines except dc's. Glen A. Johnson

You can also do this. Find out the speed and the Duplex of the hubs and switches on your network and configure all the NIC cards to run at that speed and Duplex. Do not use hardware default on the NIC's. ie: 100/FULL DUPLEX. This will stop that error as well.
