You have NWLink configured on your server, which is Microsoft's version of Novell's proprietary network protocol. It is broadcasting via the Service Advertising Protocol to let other deviced know that it is available, but it needs an internal network number to identify itself properly. You should find a selection on the "Advanced" tab of the NWLink properties for setting an internal network number. It can be any hexadecimal value with up to eight (I think) digits. I often just put "1" in there.

This is not likely to be causing a problem on your network, expecially if you are running NetBEUI or TCP/IP in addition to NWLink.
