From some Win2000 clients i cant access the PDC server(by clicing on the server on Windows Explorer)
The error is: Start session error: incorrect destination account name
I can access it using its IP address.
All three domain servers are Windows 2000 and the PDC is the Master Browser.

In a pure 2000 environment there is no PDC, that's NT 4.0 (and earlier) nomenclature. There is however, a PDC Emulation FSMO role that allows NT servers/workstations to be part of the 2000 forest.
An error like this generally means you're trying to log into the wrong domain. (ie: you're domain is abc.com, your user name is abc.com\Username and you're logging in as acd.com\Username)

Curt R,
I understand about the PDC Emulation, but I donīt have another Domain, besides, how is it possible to open files on the server using the IP address if I am not logged into the domain?

Computers are correctly configured (all of them where working fine)... besides, if machines where in a workgroup with the same name, it would`t be possible to print or open files on the server.
