There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

[d_a_c_e]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a machine on a Windows 2000 network.

The setup is as follows. DHCP from an adsl modem. Windows 2000 server
set to receive DHCP.

On one of the machines (out of 4) the machine could access the servers
drive intermittently, or very slowly, after a time it would speed up
and after a period of not being used, slow down again. However can
always ping the servers internal IP and netbios name.

This occurred recently after the machine body was swapped (identical
motherboard , etc, just the HDD was swapped into another machine).

Recently after trying to change the machine name and rejoin, I've
received the message "There are currently no logon servers available to
service the logon request" when trying to access the server from
workstation. I've since changed the machine name back and successfully
rejoined the domain. However the message still occurs. I can still ping
the server and the netbios name and see the machines in network
neighbourhood, however that is it.

Any suggestions and an explanation would be great. I'd like to know
what the problem is as well as how to fix it. All the other machines
seem fine.

I would check the DNS settings first. If the DNS is not the issue, I would remove the computer account and re-join the domain. these pages may help,

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. The lack of access happened after removing
the computer account and re-joining the domain. Unfortunately the
suggestions in the links you posted were mainly for windows workgroups,
but thanks nonetheless. I tried the relevant one.

The dns settings are identical to the other machines (obtaining an ip
automatically, same dns settings results after returning ipconfig
/all). Additionally I cannot browse Active Directory on the problem
machine, although I seem to be able to access the network again,
despite taking a very long time to login (which is normally due to
dns).

Thanks,
Mike
