Hi sql'ers, We have 2 sql servers, a main and a backup. from the main box I'm trying to add the backup in the enterprise manager, but keep getting errors like server not found, with name or time out with ip. Now from the backup box I have successfully added both servers to enterprise manager, by both name and ip. why would the backup recognize the main, but not visa versa?

I can ping, I can ftp, I can even map drivers across servers. Some Event viewer error: 1) The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \ATMSERVER.ATM.COM for the domain ATM is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \ATMBACKUP to \ATMSERVER.ATM.COM has been cancelled. 2) The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer ATMSERVER that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{1E97E444-D95C-4120. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. Not sure if these are related to my problem, but I appreciate everyone's help.
