share no longer reachable

[barbie gee]

all clients are XP Pro, patched currently but NOT SP2.
\\Server_X is Windows 2000, in an AD mixed-mode domain, we'll call
BAD_DOMAIN.

Everyone was able to connect to a share until last week, when we had a
massive power outage on campus. Now, no one can connect. We get
errors saying that "the mapped network drive could not be created
because the following error has occurred: The specified network name
is no loger available."

PING works ok. We can ping either by IP address, FQDN, or host name.
Net View /domain:bad_domain shows \\server_x
net use q: \\server_x\share, however, fails with "system error 64 has
occurrred. The specified network name is no longer available".
Yes, I've done a "net use * /delete"

From \\server_x, we can reach shares on other trusting/trusted
domains. Within the BAD_DOMAIN, those users, except for one, can all
access \\server_x\share.

I'm totally at my wits end.

ANY IDEAS???

Have you checked the event logs both on the client PCs and the server PC to
see if you can determine what the problem is?
