Recently I was having some trouble with my IE - e.g. it took a long time to cloce a page, when I clicked on a link it was knocking out my webradio, etc. In the event viewer I found a lot of log entries like the one below pertaining to the browser. LISA-PC is my wife's PC that is running from the same router. We do not really share anything though at this time. But what is that "server announcement" and how can I stop this? And also the second one may be relevant - both from today.

The server announcement is because both of your machines are in the same workgroup. You could change the workgroup name for your machine and that wouldn't happen anymore, though it's really a fairly normal message... in Microsoft's networking model one of the machines on a network has to hold the server list so you can browse the network, but there's supposed to be only one computer with the master list.

As far as the DHCP thing goes, likely your computer assumed a longer DHCP lease than the router... you can increase the DHCP lease time on the router to be more or less indefinite, and that won't be an issue anymore. You might have to ipconfig /renew to get a new lease the first time.

@whs,

In my Event Logs, I always have Master Bowser Notifications when other network machines enter or leave the network.
However, the other machines shouldn't effect the machine you are working on (Unless) they are sharing files and folders in some way.
Think it is the way you have your particular network setup.
Don't know if this pertains to your situation or not.

Kindest Regards,
Rick P. ♥

@whs,

Can't tell from the answers if the The Geek and I are saying the same thing or not so go with The Geek's explanation.

Kindest Regards,
