SBS 2000 server + 6 clients (XP Pro and W2000 Pro). I
have one machine that when I try to look at using "NETWORK
NEIGHBORHOOD" I get

"\\christie not accessible
This server's clock is not syncronized with the primary
domain controller's clock"

However, I can do a NET SEND to the workstation and pass
messages.

1) Why does the system think the client is a server, when
it is running XP Pro?
2) How do I sync the workstation with the server...it is
being automatically accomphished with the other clients?

thanks

I think... NET TIME is the command you are looking for. Make sure you have
the same time zone in both machines.

On a W2K or XP do the following once from the commandline:

net time \\servername /set
net stop w32time
w32tm -once
net start w32time
