Single Vista machine connected to DSL modem getting conflict with another computer claiming to be ma

March 11, 2008

Hi

I have a single (lone) windows Vista machine connected directly to the

internet via a dsl modem. I just viewed the following in my eventlogs:

"The browser was unable to promote itself to master browser. The computer

that

currently believes it is the master browser is JAYS. My machine is NOT

called JAYS."

What is happening here!!?? If my machine is connected to a DSL modem with

no additional

machines connected to that modem why is this message appearing ???? What is

happening here ??

It sounds like there may be some settings in your DSL modem that need

to be updated.

Try pointing your browser to http://192.168.1.1

That should take you to the adminsitrative control panel for your DSL

device. You'll need the administrator login, but can try one of the

defaults which is username = admin, password = admin. If this doesn't

work, contact your DSL provider for assistance.

What should I be looking for in the Settings?

ALSO: How would the config of my DSL modem confuse my vista machine to think

that there is another computer called JAYS on my local network.

It certainly seems as though someone else is on your network. Is this a

combination modem/wireless router? If yes, you probably haven't secured

your wireless properly and a stranger is using your bandwidth. If you only

have a single computer connected directly to a DSL modem by ethernet cable

(no wireless router), then call your ISP. Because you don't really know

what you're looking at - and I mean no disrespect to you, I'm just being

practical - it might be smart for you to have a computer professional come

on-site and take a look. This will not be someone from a

BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place. Get recommendations from friends,

family, colleagues.

My (lone) machine is connected directly to the DSL router with no wireless

capabilities on the router. Despite this I get the following message in the

event log:

The browser was unable to promote itself to master browser. The computer

that currently believes it is the master browser is JAYS.

Once again, my computer is not called JAYS. Friends and family are not

Vista Security experts. Looking for capable / expert advice from this

forum.

What are the possible explanations for this???

Where did you get the setup information for your internet connection? Did

you use a static IP? Maybe it's incorrect and you are encroaching onto

someone else's IP space.

I believe Joe was on the right track. The first thing to understand is

that ALL devices connected to the network do have a name. This means

your DSL modem has a name. Now normally such things are some obscure

name and have the master browser selections turned off (or have a low

priority). But it isn't that hard to change the name (and I assume, the

browser priority level).

I would start by looking at your DSL modem's booklet information for

instructions on how to set it back to the factory settings.

(once you do that, change the admin userid & password of the modem).

It looks like your network connection may be misconfigured. From the events

at timestamp 10:01 and later it appears you have two conflicting DHCP

services being used. You have a DHCP server at 192.168.0.1 which I presume

is the DSL Modem with routing capabilities enabled. You are also trying to

get a DHCP address directly from your ISP, probably using IP 68.127.186.255

as the DHCP server address. You should use only one or the other. I'd try

turning off DHCP in the modem first and see how that works out.

The modem can probably be configured in several different operating modes.

I have no way of knowing what your available options are or which mode has

been enabled. My own has 4 distinct DSL operating modes plus various

combinations of routing and firewall features. IOW, there are umpteen ways

to screw up the connection. :-)

Typically there are two common connection modes that might be used. One way

is to have the modem set in 'bridge" mode, where it only makes the hardware

connection to the DSL carrier signal. You would Windows built in PPPOE

"dialer" to log into your ISP from your computer. In this configuration the

ISP's DHCP server would give your computer an internet IP ... i.e..

68.127.186.115. You would need to set up your ISP username and password in

the PPPOE dialer to log on. Workgroup related settings in the PC would be

irrelevant in this case as long as the computer can communicate to the

modem. The PPPOE dialer is a virtual device which becomes the effective

internet connection. All of the required settings information would be

supplied by the ISP. Alternatively, a router could be used instead to make

the connections through the modem when it is in this configuration.

In the second configuration your modem could be set to connect to the ISP

automatically using its own internal firmware. The relevant networking

settings are made in the modem using its web interface, either by you

yourself or sometimes this information is pre-programmed in the modem by the

ISP if they supplied the modem. You can normally access the modem's web

interface using your browser (try typing 192.168.0.1 in the address bar).

The modem could be set to auto-dial (AKA always-on) or "dial on demand"

mode (i.e.. the modem connects whenever the PC tries to access the internet

and can disconnect again after a set timeout period of no activity). In

this configuration it is the modem which gets the internet IP from your ISP

and then passes the internet connection to the PC through its LAN port at

address 192.168.0.1 (or whatever the default is). Routing and DHCP may or

may not be enabled in the modem, but if they are enabled your computer

should use 192.168.0.1 as its DHCP server address and receive a LAN address

from the modem, not an internet IP. Possibly 192.168.0.1 should be also

entered into the computer's TCP/IP settings as the gateway address if DNS

pass-through is enabled in the modem. Otherwise the ISP's DNS server

addresses should be used. If DHCP is not enabled in the modem you would

enter a fixed LAN address into the computer's TCP/IP configuration, in the

range 192.168.0.x. The modem itself might have an optional workgroup or

domain name entered into its LAN configuration settings, which is where

'JAYS' could be coming from. You can probably change or eliminate that

yourself.

the isp istnt supposed to give you an ip address, the router does, anywhre

between 1 and 255, the router gets ip for the isp. I went thru something

like this and there are lots of things to screw up. I contacted the isp and

they sent a tech out and setup up the router the right way.

If JAYS were the name of the modem or in its netbios table, then it should

still be there presumably. (I have not reconfigured the modem in several

months, and at that I time I set it to factory defaults - so the name JAYS

should not be assigned to the modem).

I checked the mode that the modem is operating. This is as follows:

PPP is on the modem. (PPP session is initiated from the modem.) - i.e. Not

operating in Bridging mode

I believe my DHCP server is assigned by the gateway, when I connect (i.e.

no static IP configured on my machine).

I did a lookup of the netbios name table on my PC which I listed below (When

I tried nbtstat -a 192.168.0.1 for the modem I got "host not found").
