On a Win2k based network, with about 20-25 clients, one of WinXPP client had network connection problems. It is unable to access network shares, network users are unable to access a shared printer on this pc, but the pc responds on ping requests.
The pc does not have its personal firewall enabled.
I removed the pc from domain, and while trying to rejoin.. it says “Unable to find the domain controller”.. and it has created a dcdiag.txt debug file which i am pasting below:
The domain name %domainname% might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain savannahdomain:
The error was: “This operation returned because the timeout period expired.”
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.%domainname%
The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
192.68.0.4
Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running.

Pls note tht 192.68.0.4 is the DNS Server and that the problem pc & all servers are in same domain.
What could cause this network disconnection?
