Hi,
u didn't put details abt that what type of network u have at your setup.but i think u should check your ip settings,dns settings & also check that client must have a password to login.
all the best .

hi...

check whether u r still part of domain or work group in which your server exists.if not join the domain and then use a user name already in AD.

check with subnet mask .. if u have manually configured the machine.

Hi

First Check whether your XP machine is a part of Domain or workgroup. Logal failure indicates this machine is not being recongnizes by domain or workgroup. You may need join this machine to Domain in case of your network has domain structure. Since you can ping this machine i thinks there is no problem with network setting.

This problem also accure when you upgrade machine from SP1 to SP2 and select all option. In that case you need to uninstall SP2 and again install it with default setting.

Hope this will help you to rectify problem.
