Since this morning everytime I start my computer I get this message : Microsoft networking The following error occurred while loading protocol 0. Error 59:a network error has occurred. Please would anyone tell me what does it mean?

See if this applies: Err Msg: System Error 59 Has Occurred, an Unexpected... 3.50 WINDOWS kbnetwork kbtool kbui kberrmsg kbbug3.50 kbfix3.50.sp2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS When your Windows NT Server version 3.5 computer is using the LMHOSTS file and TCP/IP is the only protocol, the following message may appear when you attempt to connect to a Windows NT Server version 3.5 that was recently rebooted: System Error 59 has occurred, an unexpected network error occurred. CAUSE When a Windows NT Server version 3.5 shuts down, it sends out a remove name request for its server name. If the Windows NT server name was cached by other Windows NT version 3.5 servers through the LMHOSTS file, the server name entry (servername ) is removed from cache and those computers are not able to contact the server when it reboots. This behavior has been reproduced on a one-way trust between two domains. WORKAROUND On the Windows NT servers that cannot connect to the recently rebooted Windows NT server, use the command NBTSTAT -R to reload the cache. You can then reestablish connections with the rebooted Windows NT Server. NOTE: If a computer receives the above error message, you can determine if the server name was removed from its cache by using the command NBTSTAT -c. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Windows NT Server version 3.5. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5.

I forgot to mention that I have Win98 installed in my computer

Oscar... Check this out... http://www.windowstrouble.com/emsg/619.shtml

i have the same problem but only after i install the critical update patch from the microsoft update web page, and i am also running win98

Same problem. I installed a new network card driver and some Critical Updates at the same time, then presto, the problem. After clearing the error message, everything resumes as normal, but it's a major annoyance especially for unmanned operations. The windowstrouble link in the previous reply didn't work and the NT server info doesn't seem to apply, though I'll run it by my support staff. Anyy help would be GREATLY appreciated; MSKB is empty on this subject.
