After changing my password on my XP laptop, I can no longer access

[Guest]

My laptop is a node on our LAN, and uses XP as the OS. All of a sudden, as of
a week ago when I change my login password, I am no longer able to access the
LAN. When I double-click on a mapped LAN drive, I get a dialog that asks me
to login again. WHen I do, it says, "Login unsuccesful, the user name you
just used is the same user name you logged in with. A domain controller
cannot be found to verify that user name."

how do you change the password? assuming you have a domain network, which you made change? local user or domain user?

I am a domain user. When I change my password, I press CTRL-ALT-DEL; then
select Change Password; then enter current password; then enter new password
and confirm.

The password is for permissions for me to access network servers on a domain.

Also, my password keeps tripping my account to "Locked Out" on the network
Administrator's panel.

I should also mention that there is another computer on the same domain that
uses the same login information, but identified on the network with a
different name.
