    Hi this is great information, But i would like to ask: what is this service. if i disable this option on the culprit computers (Which on my network are all Laptops which have access to the internet off site (ADSL ROUTER)) will this affect there other network which they would be connecting to?

    thank you for taking the time to post your findings.

    This solution worked for me and I was so thrilled to have finally found something that worked. (And was simple). Thank you.

    @ Jade,

    I have made this change on several computers and thus far there have been no adverse effects. It is a mixture of computers as well, dedicated, roaming, etc. However, I cannot guarantee what worked for me (and others) will work for you. That is the thing with computers, there is no environment that is identical...only commonalities.

    Hope that helps,

    Hi,

    Nice when is happens on client computers..
    but what with thin clients?? disable it on the terminal server??
    The weird thing is that it started to log after the installation of a TrendMicro client agent..
    It also logs about every hour... but only with one TC (like "TC53sitename", and not all of the TC's...
    Do you have any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards,

    @ Nazir,
    Not sure I can help you with that. You might want to check the Microsoft Support KB.

    @ Muhammad,

    Thanks.

    @ Pieter,

    Sorry I don't have any information on thin clients and how to fix. You might want to check with TrendMicro for a solution from them.
    Sorry.

    I shutdown the browser service and changed it from automatic, to manual and it seems to have resolved my problem.

    I was getting a warning 8005 and error message together. Both seem to have gone away.

    What happens if the culprit is a Network Accces Server with Linux ( and no access to its services / registry)

    @Jeb,

    Interesting. Unfortunately I can't help you there as I'm not a Linux wizard.

    GENIUS! Thanks so much for solving this for me! I have been searching for ages trying to solver the master browser issue, that was periodically disabling my web server.

    I have now found the machine running the Computer Browser service (why?!) and disabled it on SBS 2003. Now my web server is back up and running.

    CHEERS!

    Hello Richie,
    I am still having the same problem, i disabled the computer browser service on the client machine, actually on all client machines since the error is coming each time from a different one. Did you also disable it on the SBS?

    Thank you

    @Jad,

    I would say that you probably shouldn't disable on your SBS because that is part of what it is designed to do. I could be wrong though.

    Another way to fix this, rather than stopping/disabling the Computer Browser Service is to unbind NetBIOS from Tcp on each of the interfaces. To find out which interfaces are bound, type 'BROWSTAT.EXE DN' at a command prompt - this will list the interfaces such as 'DeviceNetBT_Tcpip_{7B935...' as displayed in your System Event Log. Steps to disable NetBIOS over TCP:
    1) Open Network Connections in the Control Panel
    2) Open the Properties dialog for any interface
    3) If TCP/IP is checked, select it and click 'Properties'. (If it is not checked, click 'Cancel' - this interface does not have tcp/ip bound)
    4) Click the 'Advanced' button
    5) On the 'WINS' tab, select the radio button for 'Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP'
    6) Click OK, OK, then Close

    If you run BROWSTAT.EXE DN again, the list of interfaces should be one less now. Keep doing this for each interface in the list and you will eliminate all of these MRxSMB messages.

    This can also be disabled using DHCP options if you are using DHCP on your network. Just be careful when you have legacy and non-Windoze boxes that need WINS to connect to the network.
