The server is not configured for transactions.

Check the system for the MSBlastWorm or varients, Ive seen where this message came up when the system was infected. Just becase a system has virus protection, doesnt mean it was infected anyway. Many systems get infected prior to signatures being released, often times virus protection gets disabled, expires or has other problems as well.

I have scanned the server - no viruses, all clients are up to date and scanned. Any other ideas? Thanks for you help.

First make sure all computers have the file and sharing protocol installed

make sure all your computers are in the same domain/workgroup

make sure NetBIOS is over tcp/ip

Right click network neighborhood> properties> right click local area network > properties> Tcp/ip > properties> advanced> WINS> Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
