  We study propagators of the lattice 3d adjoint Higgs model, considered as an
effective theory of 4d SU(2) gauge theory at high temperature. The propagators
are calculated in so-called lambda-gauges. From the long distance behaviour of
the propagators we extract the screening masses. It is shown that the pole
masses extracted from the propagators agree well with the screening masses
obtained recently in finite temperature SU(2) theory. The gauge dependence of
the screening masses is also discussed.
