At the beginning I thought it was a virus - I was re-doing my Win2k machine at the office from scratch - the balance of my network works fine. When I try to connect to this computer from others, I get the above error.
What's worse is that I try to do a "Net share IPC$" and it works for a few moments, then dissapears.
I thought it was a virus, so I LLF'd the hard drive and started over from scratch again. I still get the same problem. If it's a virus, it's a freakin' resilient one - never faced anything like this before and I've set up hundreds of computers over dozens of networks.
I tried one thing - rebooting the computer but not logging in (leaving it at the login screen) and the printer shares work.
When I saw that I thought it may be something in my profile (it's a roaming profile) so I deleted my profile on the server and all roaming copies of it. STILL THE SAME when I login with a fresh profile! Arggggghhh!
Need help!!!!

Here's what's been done in this pewter so far:
- Win 2k installed
- SP4 installed
- Drivers installed
- IE6 installed OFFLINE (from CD)
- MS Malicious Software removal tool runned with 0 results.
- Internet connection configured but NOT connected to internet yet.

It's not a virus. Doing a clean install means it probably isn't a Windows issue. I assume you've got it networked correctly, with domain, DNS, DHCP, etc. set correctly (if you've done hundreds, you know how to do this stuff).
Intermittent, persistent connectivity issues is probably a network hardware issue. I would first swap out the NIC with a known good one. They're cheap/easy to install. If it fixes the problem... who cares whether it was the old NIC or the drivers? Second, I would check the power supply. You can get some truly amazing issues with a p/s that's pushing out poor amperages. Third, I'd put the motherboard on the bench and test that.

This seems to be associated with a virus. Your installation cd, if not an original, maybe infected.
