Is the backup exec service account a member of daomin admins? Are the 2 w2k
pro machines member of the domain? Is the backup exec service account a
member of the local admin group o the w2k pro machines? Is the domain admins
group a member of the local admin group on the w2k pro machines? Try to
change the following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Veritas\Backup Exec\Engine\NTFS, change the value "Restrict
Anonymous Support" from decimal value 0 to decimal value 1. Recycle the
services and try to attach again.

Another thing to try is to rename the file bewinui.uni to .old and recycle
the services, then set the default attach info to the 2 w2k machines.

Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I know if the backup exec service
account is a member of the domain admins? Where can I find information on
"backup exec service account"? The w2k pro machines ARE a member of the
domain. As far as everything else, I cannot answer. Windows 2000 is all new
to me, so I am unfamiliar with a lot of these services.

open the services applet and check startup properties. the account that the
services run under will be displayed there.
