    This is a problem with XP. If you go to Control Panel
    and "user accounts", you will have the oppotunity to
    change the passwords for the user for a number of
    different services. One of them is the server. I think
    you have to go into "Manage Passwords". It appears that
    everytime you change your Domain password, you have to
    come in here to change it as well.

    Once you have changed that password to reflect the new
    Domain password, it works fine......until next month.!!
    I have not resolved that issue yet.

    What it looks like to me, is the old "<usename>.pwl" file
    that you used to have in Win95 and win98. This file used
    to store all of your passwords that you wanted to save for
    all of those logon dialog boxes. When you change the
    password in XP that is prompted from the server, it
    doesn't go an change it for the locally stored password
    DB. Wherever that maybe.

    I haven't had a good look, but I assume that Microsoft
    will fix this shortly.
