Make sure that dns is configured correctly in that the domain controller points only
to itself as it's preferred dns server in tcp/ip properties and that the domain
members point only to the domain controller as their dns server and NEVER have an ISP
dns server in the list.

If that is all configured correctly, then run netdiag on the computer you had a
problem with to see if it shows all is well with no major failed tests/errors/fatal
warnings. You can also use gpresult while logged onto the problem computer to see
what policy is being applied to the computer and the last time the policy was
applied. The support tools I mentioned are on the install cdrom in the support/tools
folder where you have to run the setup program to install them as a set. --- Steve
