LAN Vs LAN

today I seen a pc with a master computer browser issue where the pc on the
LAN was getting the master browser msg from a PC on another LAN in another
building in another company!

I have not seen this happen before. Although I was able to simply shut down
the broswer service on this PC I am curious why this happened and if others
have seen this.

We need more information to help. Do you have WINS on both sites?

no wins

these are basically out of the box pc's. The pc in the other business/office
is a laptop not even on a network.
