Win2k Server Troubles
This is a discussion about Win2k Server Troubles in the Windows Networking category; I recently reformatted and reinstalled my Windows 2000 Server. When I am trying to configure the server in the opening screen, to tell it, that it is the only server. It tells me that another one is within the network.
I recently reformatted and reinstalled my Windows 2000 Server. When I am trying to configure the server in the opening screen, to tell it, that it is the only server. It tells me that another one is within the network. That is incorrect. What can I do to correct this issue?

Try disconnecting it from the network. If it is the only server, then it may be an issue with the clients. I'm taking a shot in the dark on this one as I really don't have enough info to be sure.

Also check this:
If you have two Network cards and Netbeui bound to both it will sometimes think there is another machine on the network with the same name.
Disable Netbeui on one of them if this is the case.

Another thing to check is whether you have a TCPIP copier/printer sitting on the network. Sometimes with some of the larger machines, they may announce themselves to the network as a server (as I speak, on our network there is one RIP that is calling itself "Win98 Server", and one calling itself "Win2000 server")

Static WINS or DNS entries would also do this.
Tombstone all WINS entries.
Delete all DNS entries.
