In my event viewer a message occurs that the service of my LAN Card has failed (a device attached to the system has failed)but still the network is quite working with some errors that is hard to grasp since I am a beginner in network administration.

One thing to check is whether there are two LAN cards in your server and only one of them is connected to the network. If that's the case, then the error message your getting is probably from the second LAN card. Just make sure it's totally disabled and not bound to any of your network protocols or services, and the error messages should go away. It's also possible that the card is failing intermittently but still working most of the time. These errors can be transient, but should still notbe ignored. If there's only one LAN card in your server and it is failing intermittently, you should replace it. Posting the exact error message for us to look at might get you a more specific answer. Hope this helps!
