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 Windows NT Workstation computer, a server or domain controller running Advanced Server, Windows NT Server, or LAN Manager 2.x.)
If the computer you select is across a link with slow transmission rates, select Low Speed Connection. If this option is selected, Advanced Server does not list all of 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.
