Source: Userenv
Type: Error Error
Description Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Return value (<return error code >).
Comments This event occurs in various conditions, the return code providing more details about the problem. Use NET HELPMSG to obtain a description of the code.
Return code 59 means: &quot;An unexpected network error occurred.&quot; - Typically, connectivity problems (cable, hub, switch, etc.. layer 2 level)
Return code 1317 means: &quot;The specified user does not exist..&quot;
Return code 1722 means: &quot;The RPC Server is unavailable&quot; - Usually occurs when DNS servers are not configured properly. There is connectivity but not at the service level. See the link below for troubleshooting. One note here, usually it may appear that DNS is set properly but one has to double-check all the aspects of DNS registration/resolution as the problem may not be that obvious.
Return code 1908 means: &quot;Could not find the domain controller for this domain.&quot;

is it a critical error, an error like that is showing up in my logs but it doesn't seem to affect it's job as a firewall+gateway on my network.

This problem is caused by not having the correct IP address listed in the local DNS Servers settings. Goto the PROPERTIES of TCP/IP on the local area connection, and click ADVANCED. Then, click on DNS. Make sure your local Microsoft/BIND DDNS server is listed. If not, add it.

Is this machine a Windows 2000 Server or Professional system? If Server, Active Directory is installed, right?
