Unable to connect to server using domain

M

Morten

I map up 5 different network drives at work logging on using a domain.
After I was away from my project for one week (obtaining IP from DHCP)
I'm now back with a static IP. Problem is that some of my mappings has
stopped working.

I use the same domain, user name and password for all mappings. For the
mappings that doesn't work my user end up being locked, and I have to
unlock the user 3 or 4 times before it is finally unlocked.

I am able to map the drives from other machines using my
username/password (when it's not locked). Others are not able to map
network drives from my machine using there username. So the problem
seems to be on my machine.
Running XP, can anyone shed some light on this problem?

sounds like cached credentials issue. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Authenticate cached credentials

Symptoms: The primary purpose of logging on with cached credentials is to
enable you to access the local workstation. However, if you have logged on
by cached credentials, you may be unable to access network resources because
you have not been authenticated. For example 1) after you log on to a w2k/xp
laptop by using cached credentials, you may be unable to access the network
resources. This issue is commonly experienced by laptop users whose computer
resides in a Windows Server domain and who log on to the computer by using
cached credentials prior to being able to establish a remote access
connection. 2) You log on to a w2k/xp laptop with a domain logon option in a
workgroup network. After you establish the connection and you try to map the
network drives, the operation may be unsuccessful, and you may receive the
following error message: "System Error: (1311) There are currently no logon
servers available to service the logon request."

Resolutions: To authenticate the cached credentials, 1) if it is w2k/xp, use
net command, for example, net use \\servername\sharename /user:username. 2)
if xp, open Windows Explorer>Tools>Map Network Drive. Click Connect using a
different user name, enter the username and password.

redo your account passwords on the servers giving you the account
lockouts.

May want to check the DNS entries for your workstation. May want to
check the servers machine account for your workstation.

You should generate errors at your workstation and server you failed to
logon to which may give you clues to the problem.
