There are various reasons why this could occur:
1. Network connection faulty
2. Network card faulty
3. Server not operating
4. Incorrect domain listed in logon
5. Faulty hub, switch etc.

I would check all of these and see .

This could also be related to an improper IP address and Subnet mask being assinged to the workstation. If a DHCP server is being used, a misconfigured scope for the subnet could be the problem. It also might be that the workstation is not getting an ip address from the DHCP server and is using the autoconfigued IP address range. Use IPCONFIG to check the IP address and subnet mask the workstation is using and make sure it mataches the proper configuration for the subnet.

Hi
I'm betting its a WINS problem, I have had a lot of these. Make sure that WINS information is correct, either thru the DHCP or had coding, if that doesn't work, make sure you don't have an lmhost file loaded with contrary info.
