Can not conect to server shares or join domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a windows xp pro sp3 with all the updates and virus scanner on it with
no viruses. I have a win2003 server setup in a domain. my xp computer was
connected to the domain fine and i was accessing shares fine ever since i
setup the server and client. Yesterday the client was running slow and acting
like wierd so i rebooted it cause normally i leave my pc on all the time.
When i booted back into windows i couldn't connect to my mapped drives. I
rebooted the server and the same thing i keep getting error Network Path not
found. I can ping by name and ip. So then i removed the pc from the domain
and tried to rejoin the to the domain and now i cant rejoin to the domain. I
even tried to change the computer name and same thing. this is the error i
get when i try to join to the domain. " The following error occurred
attempting to join the domain "domain.local" The format of the specified
network name in invalid. I ran chkdisk /r and ran rootkit scanners and 3
different virus scanners and no viruses are found. I also ran scf / scannow
and still same issue. Any suggest will be grateful.

thanks
