Hi I have exchange 2000 server running on windows advanced server 2000 with sp4. This runs as a member server & have two network interfaces to balance the network traffic. From few days ago it happens to stop deliverying mails suddenly without any service getting down. In the event log there is some browser warning being generated. The specific message was "The browser was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master \\CW-SRV-01 on the network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{A3245834-4667-40D1-BB27-B57EC4259F46}. The data is the error code. " Other than it there is nothing to Check. When it is rebooted again works for sometime. please help Thank You Janaka Sampath

That said:, unless your network cards support teaming, I'm not a fan of multiple NICs in servers. And the browser election messages shouldn't have anything to do with your mail delivery - that's NetBIOS stuff. But if you want to be able to browse, you should install WINS on one of your DCs, point everyone at the WINS server IP, and stop/disable the Computer Browser service on all workstations.
Thank you for the reply browser issue is the most close issue tha I can highlight with this server issue. Will you tell me what can cause exchange to stop responding without any event in the log?

No, sorry, not with so little info, although it does sound like you've got some underylying network problems. Perhaps if you identify and correct them (with my advice or that of the people in the group I directed you to) you will find that the Exchange problems disappear. > > > "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" > wrote in > message news:eyhyVfUtIHA.3792@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Janaka Sampath wrote: >>> Hi >>> >>> I have exchange 2000 server running on windows advanced server 2000 >>> with sp4.
