errors conneting to XP workstation to 2K domain

[Derek Hardmon]

I am able to browse the network shares but I don't have
Internet access at all. It seems to be either a
licensing or DNS issue, but I'm not sure. The two error
logs that stand out on the WinXP workstation is (1)
Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed
to contact the active directory (ox8007054b), Event ID:15
and (2) Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name
for your computer network. The spceified domain either
does not exist or could not be contacted, Event ID:
1054. I have taken the machine off the domain; renamed
the machine; deleted old names from Active Directory;
checked a different patch connection and nothing has
solved it. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks.
