I noticed allot of these errors on two of my machines, the two that are on most often. Is this an issue I need to worry about?

The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer MOMMY that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{D1313F74-A35B-4623-A1F. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.

This exact error shows up every 75 minutes or so.

I thought it was about the IP addresses. I was using DHCP, but on all 4 computers, I changed them to Static. I have other things on the network I left DHCP, but the computers are static now, and I still get this error.

All machines are running XP PRO SP3, the router is a Linksys BEFSR41, and network at 100mps.

Nothing to be concerned with, normal windows messages regarding network browsing.
