My windows 2000 professional system is connected to a WinNT Domain and was working fine for the last few months. From last week onwords , i am not able to add peoples from the Domain , to any shared folders. Still i am able to create new shared folders with Everyone group with full access. But if i try to add a single user or selective users , i am not able to get the Domain users list ( instead i am getting an error message

Security

Unable to display the user selection dialog
(null )

What could be the problem. I have already removed and reconfigured all network services, protocols and reconfigured the user settings. No use .. what to do ....

Regards

I would check to see if the win2k computer name is listed in the domain. Even if it is, I would remove it by changing its membership to a WORKGROUP (any workgroup name will do). It will be disjoined from the domain. Delete the name from the domain if it was there, wait about 15 minutes for it to replicate. You should have by now restarted the win2k machine, join it back to the domain with the admin account or one with sufficient priviliges. Good Luck. Let us know how it turns out.
