I have the same problem since Wednesday

I am wondering if this is due to a recent update that was
downloaded (my Windows 2000 server is setup to receive
automatic updaes).

Please let me know if you have found a solution as yet.

Thanks

DNS check.

by kinipradeep In reply to Connecting Windows XP wor ...

make sure that the client is pointing to the correct internal dns server.
check whether you are able to ping the DC/DNS with name as well as IP address, are the names resolving fine ?
check the Netsetup.log file under %system % i believe its under the Debug folder the log file would have the reason for failure, also check for clock skew on client and server.

Cheers !!!
