I have a peer to peer network that has among several other machines 3 NT servers each performing specific server roles. I have a problem with one particular server as follows. I use one of the NT server boxes as my "workstation" to open documents located on another NT machine. Since a week ago my "workstation" is failing to logon to the second NT box authough it can log on to all other machines on the network. The same password I am using works fine on other machines. Also a look at the event viewer shows some entries that you can look at as follows

EVENT ID 7000
The 3Com 3C59x Bus Master Adapter Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

EVENT ID 6006
The Event log service was stopped.

EVENT ID 8033

The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_El90x1 because a master browser was stopped.

What can I do.

Only suggestion I have is to reinstall SP6A and check that the services/adaptor settings are correct

This did not help, but I appreciate. What finally helped is for me to create another user account on my "workstation". From this new account, I was able to logon into and browse the second machine. What NT issue do you think is at play here? Both accounts on the 'workstation"have administrator rights on the machine.

What about reinstalling the driver or updating the nic card driver?
Have you tried that yet?
