I got a dr. watson error stating there was an application (net.exe) that failed to initialize properly. I see that net.exe resides in the winnt\system32 directory in NT4.0, but what is it and what does it do? I have not been able to find any information on this executable. Thank you.

NET.EXE program is used to manage the network operation. It can be used to redirect local drives and printers to those of the server, assign network printers, etc. It should be loaded after Server.com or Redir.com.
