unable to browse network

[jallen]

When I attempt to browse the network (W2K A/D domain) via
My Network Places, UNC path in the run command, or net use
in command prompt I recieve following error: "There are
currently no logon servers available to service your
request". Event viewer showing multiple instances of Event
ID 3034, Source-MrxSmb, "The redirector was unable to
initialize security context or query context attributes".
Problem first surfaced when I was unable to add users to
share permissions. Error message: "no authority could be
contacted for authentication". Can ping servers & other
hosts in domain just fine. Any thoughts?

This is usually a name resolution (DNS) issue. See:
284929 Cannot Start Active Directory Snap-ins; Error Message States That No

Most often the the DC that is hosting DNS for AD is not pointing to itself
for DNS and client workstations are pointing to an ISP DNS server for DNS
