When you first start Event Viewer, the events for the local computer appear.
To view events for another computer, click Select Computer on the Log menu. (It can be a computer running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server, or a LAN Manager 2.x server.)
If the computer you select is across a link with slow transmission rates, select Low Speed Connection. If this option is selected, Windows NT Workstation does not list all the computers in the default domain, thereby minimizing network traffic across the link. (If slow transmission rates are commonplace, click Low Speed Connection on the Options menu.)
If you select a LAN Manager 2.x server for viewing, Event Viewer can display its error (system) log and its audit (security) log.
For information on how to select a computer for event viewing, see "Select Computer" in Event Viewer Help.
