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. Spots
