FTP problems

I am having some problems. I think they are all related. My
system doesn't want to connect properly to an NT 2K domain.
I can get it to hook up by logging into the domain. And it used
to be that I could get it to hook up without logging into the
domain through initial GINA dialog at startup. I can connect to
the hard disk, the C$, ADMIN$, etc, so now lets talk about
what can't be done.

All attempts to use FTP are failing.
I'm getting Failure Events in the Application Log of the Event
Veiwer on the XP machine.

Windows cannot determine the user or computer name.
(Access is denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

Nothing is defined in IPSEC on either machine. The Server
has a very restrictive firewall, but I'm not 100% sure that it's
the firewall at the moment. I've disonnected the firewall, and
I'm thinking it's a combination problem with the server and
with this machine. Most likely something misconfigured on
the networking side.

Anyways, I can't get FTP to work at all on a connection. I
can not seem to get my XP machine logged into the DC.
I can browse the Domain Controller without any problems,
but I've had to set up this ability by creating a Computer
on the DC.

And while I'm at it, there's another problem with the Win2K
DC as well. It has a computer listed that I can't seem to
delete. The computer was a test system that was connected
as a BDC per se. And this question does not deal with XP,
but rather with a Win2K server. I just want to know how to
remove the BDC computer from the list of computers there,
because when I try to do it through the Active Directory for
Computers and Users WMI, it errors out.

I'm currently heading over to MS right now to see what I can
find on the latter issue, but if someone happens to know,
I've got a feeling it's a pretty typical problem, let me know.

Thanks!
 
It looks like it's a problem on the XP machine only. Something
with TCPIP is NOT working.

I get the following error when I try to activate Internet Connection
Firewall on the Advanced tab:

An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being
enabled. The dependency service or group failed to start.

There are only three things installed for the adapter:

Microsoft Client
TCP/IP
Microsoft Printer and File Sharing

The TCP/IP is set up to grab all information from the local
DHCP server. And that's working fine, and HTTP works fine,
and 443 connections work fine. SMTP is working fine, POP3
is running fine.

Somewhere somehow there's a screw loose in this machine and
it's not a real screw. It's a Microsoft programatic screw. I'm not
willing to call it a bug, because I'm sure it's not crawling around,
because it's very specific to the FTP and to enabling the ICF.

I've turned NetBios on and off thinking that might have something
to do with it but that's incorrect. When NetBios is activated, there
are a ton of NetBIOS connections occuring between the XP
machine and the server. When NetBIOS over TCPIP is disabled,
there are still some small NetBIOS attempts to connect every
so often (one small burst once every two seconds about).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've been searching
throug the Microsoft website. I'm on link 20 of who knows how
many. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to completely uninstall TCPIP and then reinstall
it? What I mean is not just deactivate it, I want to reinstall the
files and overwrite the present files.
 
Reinstalling Service Pack 1 for XP actually did nothing at all
but spin the hard disk drive alot. It installed nothing, wasted
a bunch of time.

All the protection stuff that comes with XP is useless. Because
now that XP is useless, the protection stuff does nothing but
protect uselessness.

Any help is greatly appreciated. After 4 months of reinstalling
the software, nothing seems to get it back to the way it used
to be.
 
Update. It was Internet Explorer. I had to put a checkmark into
the Use Passive FTP for the Advanced configurations tab of
IE.

Thanks to everyone that helped. <g> You know who you are.
I'd bow to you but I'd look silly bowing to myself or to thin
air.
