My profile became corrupt the other day on my laptop, so I created a new profile, copied over the info from my old one and all was well. Now I can't get to the network at work. Can't login, can't ping anything, when I try it says no domain controller. I uninstalled and reinstalled networking and ran service pack. Still not able to join domain again. Oh, I'm using Windows XP Pro.

A common reason systems cant join the domain is DNS resolution.

If you cant ping the DC, which you should be able to, even off the domain, then you need to 1st get the basic networking issue taken care of.

Make sure you are getting an IP address assigned. Are you on Wireless? Do you have the wireless security setup correctly? Try connecting to ethernet 1st.
