This article was previously published under Q125879 SYMPTOMS
After you install Remote Access Services (RAS) with TCP/IP on a domain
controller or a stand-alone server and then restart your computer, the
following error messages may appear in your event log:
Event ID: 2504
Source: Server
The server could not bind to the transport \device\NetBT_<adapter
name>. The data is BE 04.
Event ID: 2144
Source: Workstation
The computer name already exists on the network.
Several other events are triggered as a result of these, including
Netlogon failing to start.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if a statically mapped address on a WINS server
exists on the other side of a router.
RESOLUTION
Remove the static mapping for the computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions
3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
