Logon Error

Hello,

I'm using a Windows XP Pro SP2 notebook and when I try to logon to my
Windows 2000 domain, I get the following error:

WINDOWS CANNOT CONNECT TO THE DOMAIN CONTROLLER, EITHER BECAUSE THE DOMAIN
CONTROLLER IS DOWN OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE, OR BECAUSE YOUR COMPUTER ACCOUNT
WAS NOT FOUND.

I can confirm the user account and computer account does exist in AD and
this is an isolated issue to this notebook. I am able to logon using the
same credentials from another workstation. I can also logon locally to the
notebook as the local Admin as well. When I disconnect the CAT5 cable and
then use my W2K domain account, I can login successfully and access all
network resources but when I try logging on with the CAT5 connected, I get
the error.

Thanks....

When you log on with the network cable disconnected then
you survive on cached credentials. This "free ride" will sooner
or later come to an end. Ask your network administrator to
take your machine off the domain, then rejoin it.
 
The notebook has been removed and rejoined to the domain but still have the
same issue.

Thanks....
 
Problem has been resolved. I changed the computer name this time and
rejoined the domain.

Thanks.
