We have the following problem:

We have an office that consists of 2 computers (1 laptop
with win2K professional and 1 WIN XP workstation) in a
subnet that is connected to a university network.

We only have 1 FIXED IP address so we use a Gateway/router
(D-LINK DI-604) to connect to the university network.

The D-LINK router gives out IP addresses dynamically to
our 2 computers in the subnet.

Both computers TCP/IP settings were updated to get an IP
address dynamically (i.e from the D-LINK router). This
worked fine.
We can use the internet and network printers...

Unfortunately the TCP/IP settings on the laptop computer
were changed so that the Domain was no longer used and a
work group was defined instead. Now the user CANNOT log on
to that computer because it seems that its not a local
user but a user for the domain.

Do you know how we can recover from this situation?

At login (using the known username and pasword) we get a
message something like. User account is blocked. Contact
an Administrator.

Please can you advise?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
 
Talk to your network administrator and ask him for the password
for the local administrator account.
