I have several services on my server that when I attempt to start I get an error 1068 the dependency service or group failed to start. Nothing I know of has changed since yesterday when everything was working fine and today when nothing works. The only issue I know of is this morning when I came in the server was locked up and I had to use task manager to close several programs. After I closed the programs I rebooted the server and this problem started happening. The services that won't start are:
Alerter
Backup Exec Agent Browser
Backup Exec Job Engine
Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers
Backup Exec Server
Computer Browser
Directory Replicator
Messenger
NetLogon
Remote Procedure Cal(RPC| locator
TCP/IP Netbios Helper
Finally trying to start Workstation gives me an error 0002 the file specified can not be found.
What could be giving me all of these errors?

Disk space is fine. All drives have at least 1 gig free.
As far as event log errors: 7023, 7001, 7002, 7024 All appear when I try to manually start a service that will not start.
2504 "The Server could not bind to the transport \device\netbt_AMDPCN1."
3870 "Computer name is not a valid computer name"?
119 "The description or event ID (119) in source (qic117) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string|s):."
qic117 sounds like it's some kind of tape device.
Most services will fail if the RPC subsystem fails.
This however sounds exactly like your symptoms: http://support.microsoft.c
"Event ID 3870, 7023, 2504 and 7002 Messages Are Logged After You Restart a Windows NT-Based Computer"
"and-
Event ID: 2504
Source: Server
Description: The server could not bind to the transport Device\Netbt_AdapterName"
Hope this fixes it for you.
Good Luck

There is only one NIC and no static entries in WINS.
The server works fine when the NIC is uninstalled or when the NIC is installed and the network cable is unplugged. But does not work when NIC is installed and network cable is plugged in.
So far I have disabled WINS on the server, tried a different network cable, uninstalled and reinstalled NIC, reapplied service pack, tried a different port on the switch, and tried a different NIC. Any other suggestions?
There is the following article http://support.microsoft.c
P.S. what's the MAC address of the adapter (it should be displayed when you do ipconfig /all). I once saw a client site where two network cards on different machines had the same MAC address. Neither had the numbers burned into the cards in the factory so they were all zeroes. Could it be something similar?
One last thing, if it's one of those switches that remembers the MAC address on each port it may be worth rebooting the switch too.

Are there any more errors in the event log? I know this sounds really obvious so please don't be offended, but when did you last check the partition free space? Backup exec generates log files that could be filling up your partitions. So could antivirus updates etc.
Event logs would be very useful if it's not the obvious.
