Server cannot find itself on the network...as best as I can explain

[Jon Sandruck]

Okay. Convoluted story.
Two DC setup. About 17 desktops on the network.

Primary DC will not access anything on the network,
including any folders on itself that I have mapped as a
drive. When I navigate to the domain in Network Places, it
says:

<DomainName> is not accessible.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available.

Now, when I try to make use of the shared folders on DC1
from DC2 it gives the following error message:

Logon Failure: The Target account name is incorrect.

And, of course, when DC2 tries to reconnect to the mapped
folders that live on DC1 during startup, it say:

An error occured while reconnnecting to...blah blah blah...
The local device name is already in use.

I am assuming that this is an Active Directory issue,
because people are having trouble loging in if they log off
overnight but don't shut down.

I do not know of ANYTHING that happened to this PC to make
it do this. I installed a mirrored RAID array to replace a
failing single drive in DC1 about a month before this
started happening...and there was a power outage that
exhausted our backups overnight not too long after that.
I've verified the mirror through software.

Ayway, any ideas? Thanks.
Jon
