[WinMac] Re: Can't start SFM?

        Services For Macintosh (SFM) requires other services running for it to
start. What is happening is that the Workstation Service is not starting,
and other dependent services (RPC, SFM, Messenger) are also failing.

        Usually, failures like these are due to ethernet cabling or driver
troubles: Check your wiring, and also reapply Service Pack 5.

        Lastly, you may want to try the manufacturer's OEM ethernet driver as they
have more features than the "plain vanilla" Micros~1 driver - Especially
the Intel Pro100+ drivers for the i82557 series cards.

        Hope this helps!

I can't seem to get Services For Macintosh started on my NT Server. I
really don't understand the log so I'm asking the collective genius of the
group for clues as to what might be wrong.

Below is a dump of the event log from the Event Viewer in two parts; the
Source of the message and the message itself. Can someone provide some
insight what's occurring here? Please note I can see the printer I have
attached and I can connect to the Internet just fine so it's a software,
not a hardware problem.

Thanks!
