Any help with a client computer thinking it is the master browser?

I have a client machine on network that keeps dropping the network connection so when I go to the log file it says
"The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer CLIENT-1 that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{2CD85095-462C-429B-. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced."
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to fix this?
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System \CurrentControlSet \Services \Browser \Parameters]
MaintainServerList = "Auto" (Pro = "Auto", Server = "Yes", Off = "No")
IsDomainMaster = "True" (On = "True", Off = "False", Default = "False")

The MaintainServerList controls if it should participate in the election at all. Set the value to "No"
The IsDomainMaster gives the computer a higher priority in the election.
