I have two server running Windows NT 4.0 SP 4.
First server is a gateway server to the internet, and the second one is the database server.
Clients are login to the gateway server.
Now that we have a few new staffs in our office, I would like to add their username to the server. But when I tried to opened the "User Manager for Domains" I received an error message, that is : "The workstation driver is not installed. Do you want to select another domain to administer?"

This thing never happened when the gateway server one has 1 NIC, but when we have a cable connection to the internet, we had to add another NIC, which I think might causing the problem.

Please help :(

Thank you.

You have 1 PDC the other is BDC or APP?
The Gateway as I understood is the BDC or the APP, right?
If yes can you give more information regarding the setup it self?
The second NIC, is it connected to a router with a cross cable?
Did you disable the wins for this NIC?
many questions,,,if possible to send such details,,,I have a similar setup, so I can help...
Please contact me by e-mail if possible

Check the services tab under network properties to make sure that "workstation" service is installed. I believe we had this problem a long time ago because one of the consultants thought that by removing the workstation services that meant nobody could log into the server locally. Needless to say that server had a lot of problems until we figured out what he did and reinstalled the workstation service.
