Yes, the server service is necessary for the server side
of microsoft networking (what you see from a client).
I don't know what the error means, but presumably you have
a reasonable amount of memory (64mb or more) and a reasonable
page file size (twice memory or more). If not, fix 'em,
but I doubt that's the problem. Probably something was
misinstalled.
My best suggestion is to reinstall the server service,
which you do in the services tab of the network propery
sheet (right click the network desktop icon and choose
properties). Be sure you have the windows and latest
service pack CDs handy. Remove the server service,
then add it back and tell NT to get the files from
the CD. Reboot and reinstall the service pack.
Reboot again and the server service should start.
I'd also have my NIC driver handy, just in case.
A good precaution when fiddling with network configs.
If this doesn't work, do it again but remove ALL network
config (make notes) then reboot, add it all back (NOW
you'll need your NIC driver) getting files from
NT CD. Reboot, reinstall the service pack. Be sure to
name the workgroup the same as it was (assuming it's
the same as the other PC already, if not, go stand in
the corner and make it the same when you come out
tomorrow).
If THIS doesn't work, well, you should have asked someone
who knew what he was doing.
