XP Pro connected to domain but Domain Controller cannot see it?

[mschultz]

Until 2 weeks ago my Xp Pro Laptop was connected to a W2003 SBS Domain
Controller and everything worked as it should.

Then something happened - now my laptop is still connected to the
domain BUT the W2003 SBS Domain Controller cannot see my laptop.

I get the following error in the Event Log:-
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer
network. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

I have tried almost everything including disconnecting and reconnecting
to the domain but I still have this problem.

Help!!

Try deleting the computer account on the domain controller, then
rejoining the laptop.
