When I log in to my office network. An error says "No Domain Server is available to validate your password. You will not be granted permission to network resources". I have checked the network cable, change a network card, but it still can't work.
Anyone can help?

thanks and regards,

things to troubleshoot. It can be ANY of these below.

protocols on PC, network card, cable from network card to wall jack, wall jack to patch panel, patch panel cable to the switch, port on the switch, server on the network.

PC PROTOCOL
Make sure you can see the network, if your using tcp/ip, try to ping the server, make sure you have an address, if using DHCP, make sure dhcp server is running.

Network Card
You checked this already.

cable from network card to wall jack
You checked this already.

wall jack to patch...
Try putting another computer at your location, and see if it can get on the network. If not it may be the cable run from the jack to the patch, patch panel cable, or port on the switch.

server on the network
If you do have an IP address and you can ping mosts hosts, then you shouldnt be the only one having a problem. Call your Admin

In addition to the above recommendations check your OS connection and make sure it is enabled. You don't say what OS you are using but w2k and winxp can sometimes disable the connection. Go into Control Panel->Network and Dial-up Connections and verify that your Local Area Connection is enabled.

The first couple of answeres were something to check, but depending on your OS, do an IPconfig, or winipcfg. Release the ip address and then renew and see if you get a valid ip address. I have seen this in Windows98, and NT4. This is what I woulddo before I go chassing wires.
