Question Disconnecting from WAN

Hello,

I have a really annoying issue with only 1 computer in my house. At some point within the first 20 minutes of being powered on, my computer will simply disconnect me from the WAN and the network icon in the lower right corner has a red icon on it.

Looking in the Event Viewer I get the following error message:

A browser has forced an election on network ... because a master browser has stopped
Source: BROWSER
Event-ID: 8033


This message always appears at the time of my computer disconnecting from WAN.

I've tried Googling the issue but to no avail, so I'm hoping some of you guys know whats up!

Thanks in advance

Hello Ralston18

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah I have lots of devices in my home and only this one computer is acting up. So it's not a router/ISP problem. It's definitely something to do with the error Im getting.
I checked out your links. I'm not in a Workgroup though - yeah Im in the standard WORKGROUP one - so that's not the issue here.

Looking forward to any reply from you.
