Fatal Error Problem

Please help - I'm out of ideas.

Specifics: AutoCad 2000, network version, TCP/IP, NT Server, NT 4 Workstation, Workstation is Dell P3.

Problem: I have successfully installed to several machines, similar workstaion configurations, using a silent install from the deployment directory on the server. However, this last uncooperative workstation won't get it. The installation appears to go normally, yet I get this message when trying to start : "FATAL ERROR: Security system (hardware lock or network license)is not functioning or is improperly installed." I know the ADLM is functioning properly because I can turn around to another machine and run Acad. I don't have a hardware lock. Everything seems to be in order. I'm out of ideas.

Can you ping the ADLM server by name from the bad workstation? And vice
versa?

Sounds like a Security issue with the Server to Workstation? Rights?
Privledges?
or double chk on the Protocal (TCP/IP).

Didn't try that. I assumed that since I was able to install from the deployment directory that there would be no communication problems.

Thanks for the input. I'll put in a call to IT on the security idea.
