Error 1068 the dependency service or group failed to start
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.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317140

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

it seems that you have a network card failure, or the driver needs to be re-installed, try reonstalling the netcard driver then reapply latest service pack again
if it is a pci card, try inserting it in a different slot then install the driver followed by the service pack

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?

Oh, I guess I should add that this computer connects to the internet without a problem.
download the latest service pack

I already have, plus I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times.

Unless anyone has any other suggestions it looks like I will have to format the server and start fresh. If this is the case I will ask that this question either be PAQ'd points refunded or deleted.

Is there a way to make the ipconfig stop in the middle. The information scrolls off the screen and I cannot see the MAC address. I will try the workstation thing as soon as I can.
ipconfig/all |more

The MAC address was fine so I reinstalled the workstation service. Everything is working now. Sorry about the delay in closing, I forgot about the question after I got it fixed.
Event logs would be very useful if it's not the obvious.
