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_. 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.
