Windows cannot connect to the domain on laptop



I have set up many laptops for use on our company domain and log into each
one of them at least once before they are issued out. If they are not
connected to the domain I can use the same password for the user account as
I did the first time I logged on, even though it is changed frequently, but
when connected to the domain again it recognizes the current password, which
I can then use until I get back on the network with a new password.

Except for one laptop: I haven't logged into it for a while and when I put
in my current user name and password it does not recognize my account on the
domain with the message "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either
because domain the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or
because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this
message continues to appear, contact your network administrator for
assistance." But I can log in as the administrator and from there map to
the network as myself and see other hardware in the domain. So the network
card is OK, my user account is OK, but I can't connect.

Any advice?
