Macintosh Service Error 5

My Windows 2000 server can’t seem to load the File Service for Macintosh properly. It’s set to automatically start but always fails with the same error under Service Control Manager; “The File Server for Macintosh service terminated with service-specific error 5.”

I can get it to run after a few minutes of in-activity, but eventually it will stop with that error again! Any ideas?? I’m running Win2000 Server w/ SP2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! This server NEEDS to have Macintosh services up and running continually.

Thanks in advance,
James Keltgen
