Changed Domain settings=unable to login. Help!

[Dave]

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?

Replied in another group - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG names with commas)
so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks
