I have a server with NT4 as OS. 12 win98 workstations are connected to server and they are using server as file server only. A dos programme is running on all the workstations which are using a folder on the server. Server hangs up after couple of hours and reboot is required. If Workstations are restarted, it gives following message " No domain found to log on....".
I will apreciate all kind of help.

You must give us more detail.
I try first to check the hardware:
-HDD for errors or bad cluster
-if the fans work properly
-power supply (maybe you need an UPS)
-maybe you have or you can obtain from manufacturer a boot diskette with a diagnostic/test program
Then check the software:
-look for some unusual events with events viewer at your server
-in system properties ? startup\shutdown you can enable and if you want also
-in performance increase virtual memory and registry size
-in network properties\services\server check optimization
-check/find a new driver for your NIC (or replace it)
-reapply last SP or a newer SP

1. Are you running Mcafee?

2. Any Event Log error after the reboot?

3. Hang means I assume you are unable to Logon, only cold boot , power off and on.

Thanks.
