Network messages have an error code or message identification number associated with them and can be seen by typing net helpmsg message number at the command prompt. They can also be divided into two groups: Windows NT Workstation/Windows NT Server Network Messages and Down-level Network Messages.
In Chapter 4, "Message Reference," the network messages are presented alphabetically and interspersed with the other system messages. In the following table, they have been arranged numerically. Missing or skipped numbers could be related to simple messages, such as "Password expires," that were not included in the printed version, or they may be in the Down-level Network Message ID Numbers table, which is provided in the second section of this chapter.
