[Servername] is not accessible on Windows 2000 server

[robinr]

I have two windows 2000 servers running AD in a small network (less than 50 users). After the systems run overnight, on one of the servers, when you browse the network, and click on the domain, you get "[servername] is not accessible. The remote computer is not available". On the other server, you can browse with no problem. I don't see any applicable events in the event log (at least I don't think they apply). What do I need to look for?!?! Note: When you reboot both servers, all works normal until the next morning.

Sincerly, trying to browse the network is a more complex issue (NetBIOS involved, browser service...).
Is that server loosing network acess at all? Go to command prompt. Try ping to the other server, on name and on IP address. See if it is working Gia Betiu

Yes, you can ping (with IP number or name) from the server to the other server, and get a successful reply.
