Windows cannot connect to the domain....etc.

[Guest]

I ordered 3 PCs and I reinstall one of the PC with Windows XP Professional
and I cloned it to the rest of the PCs. I don't have any problem connecting
the source and clone #1 PCs to the domain but when I tried to connect the
clone #2 and it gave me a message "Windows cannot connect to the domain
either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or
because your computer account was not found." I already renamed the computer,
so I don't know what's going on. These 3 PCs are idential the same, so I
don't understand why clone #2 wasn't able to connect to the domain. Please
help!. Thanks.
