When you say that things changed with the fast logon optimization disabled,
and that it just greys out the logon dialog, I have to say this feels more like a
basic network issue than any AD configuration problem. Certainly not DNS,
certainly not Kerberos, time sync, machine account, etc. All of these exhibit
different symptoms that what you're reporting.
First eliminate the usual suspects: what comes to mind immediately in
no particular order are: malware infections, parallel Netware client, 3rd-party
firewall, VPN client software, corrupt WINS or bad WINS IP, nonsense in
HOSTS/LMHOSTS. You may be able to grind out a few more. I'd also
do a "netsh winsock reset" just to be safe.
Next, you can try backing out the recent critical updates or hardware
driver updates. If you have a restore point before this started happening that
might be the easiest way.
After ruling out any of that I'd probably next try simply installing a different
model/mfr NIC (which gets you a different driver), tie the workstation to a
different switch port and see what happens.
If that doesn't lead to a solution, try installing a clean XP SP2 to a
different folder, join that to the domain and if it works OK, build
it up to the existing config. with updates, s/w and configuration. At some point
you'll find the cause of the problem.
The alternative is to put in a sniffer or capture traffic and deconstruct what
is going on. This is too painful to really contemplate at this point.
