I have a single domain with 13 servers on two segments, the PDC and BDC are running NT 4.0, two of the member servers are 2000 server the other members are NT 4.0. Only one of the servers cannot contact the PDC. It is not listed in serv er manager. Clients can connect to it. Other servers and can ping other servers to and from it.

Which one cannot contact the PDC? The 2000 member servers? or the BDC? Has it ever been listed in the server manager that you know of? That listing is several hours slow to update sometimes.

If your problem only that it doesn't show up in the list but you can connect to it. Then the problem might be that NETBIOS Over TCP is not enabled on that computer. To see if it is enabled or not:
In the TCP/IP properties click advanced and click on the WINS tab there is a check box overthere to enable/disable netbios over TCP.
