W2K Servers in an NT 4.0 Domain?

We have 2 W2K servers in our NT 4.0 domain. We use one as a mail server and the other is for finance/accounting. We frequently get these two entries in the Event Logs on both of the W2K servers:

Event ID: 64
Source: w32time
Type: Warning

Because of repeated network problems, the time service has not been able to find a domain controller to synchronize with for a long time. To reduce network traffic, the time service will wait 960 minutes before trying again. No synchronization will take place during this interval, even if network connectivity is restored. Accumulated time errors may cause certain network operations to fail. To tell the time service that network connectivity has been restored and that it should resynchronize, execute "w32tm /s" from the command line.

Event ID: 8032
Source: Browser
Type: Error

The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{3E38FAF0-8D49-41A1-9421-8EC862FEF885}. The backup browser is stopping.

I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base and TechNet, but haven't found quite the right fixes for either of these.

On the finance server ONLY we also get this message:
Event ID: 1010
Source: Perflib
Type: Error

The Collect Procedure for the "Tcpip" service in DLL "C:\WINNT\system32\Perfctrs.dll" generated an exception or returned an invalid status. Performance data returned by counter DLL will be not be returned in Perf Data Block. Exception or status code returned is data DWORD 0.

I thought I found a fix for this one - run Exctrlst.exe - which is on the Resource Kit CD, but I only found it on the NT 4.0 Resource Kit, not the W2k one.

Can anyone help with any of these messages??
Thanks in advance!

On the first one, that is the Windows 2000 time sync service. Since you do not have a 2000 domain controller with that service running, the server fails to sync time. To prevent this you can just stop the "Windows Time" service.
The second error I believe is from the "Computer Browser" service. This service is used to keep a list of computers on a workgroup network. When you have a domain you can disable this service.
As for the last one, I am not too sure about that. You may want to make sure you are up to date on SP3 and see if maybe that fixes the problem.
