weird network error - cannot connect to network after joining domain

[hkmlam]

Hi all,
I have this problem that only happens on one of the computer on the
network.
All of the PCs are configured the same and all are working except ONE.

XP SP2 machine connected to Domain. One day it just stopped working
and cannot connect to the network. I took down the domain and
everything is working again. When i join the domain, everything fails
again. Can't even ping the machine. The IP for the machine is fixed to
be 192.168.0.2.

What's going on ???
Thanks for the help in advance

Can it ping the DNS server?

I would look closely at logs from "ipconfig /all", for the problem computer and
a couple others. Maybe post them here, unmunged please.

Try running the support tool netdiag on that problem computer and see if you
find any errors regarding DNS, dc list, trust/secure channel, etc and to see
if ipsec is enabled. You can post results her in a reply if you want. Also
check the application logs for any relates errors/warnings such as userenv.
