I get the following error message when attempting to
logon to the Domain from any Win NT 4.0 in the same
domain. I just finished migration from Win NT 4.= domain
and I broke trust relationships betwen NT 4.0 I W2K
domains. I regulary can connect from w2k or xp computers.

"Cannot log you on to Domain,Check the Computer Account
or your password for the computer cannot be found."

The account and the password are correct. .

I tried by unjoining and Re-Joining the NT 4.0 computers
but I still can't connect.

This is a authentication error. try updating all win nt 4.0 machines with
service pack 6a. this might work

Rajmohan offers a good suggestion -- especially if this is a
Win2003 Domain (in spite of posting in Win2000.a_d)

Also (in that case) adding DSClient upgrade might/will help.
Win2003 enforces SMB signing by default.

If these are not the issue, then likely it is a NAME resolution
problem -- with multiple subnets and the NT box on one
subnet while the DC(s) is(are) on another, the most likely
reason is that you have no WINS server or the machines
are not "clients" of that WINS database (a single WINS
database whether on one machine or properly replicated.)

Most common mistake here is to forget to make THE DCs
clients of the WINS server in the mistaken believe that either
"Servers don't need to resolve names" or "Win2000 doesn't
need NetBIOS resolution." (both are wrong)

Make the (true) CLIENTS AND the "Servers" WINS clients
on their NIC properties and ensure the WINS database is
fully replicated if you have multiple WINS servers.
