Windows 2k Server Domain Probs




Hello,
I am handling a network with a Windows 2000 Server and about 15
workstations. All workstations are Windows XP Pro with the exception
of 3 that are Windows 2000 Professional. Recently, the Windows 2000
Pro machines cannot access any shares located on the Domain Controller.
Everything was working great for a couple years, and then all of a
sudden, the Win2k machines stopped being able to use the shares. When
I click on a mapped drive I get the message "There are currently no
logon servers, etc." I disjoined one of the Win2k machines from the
domain and after placing it into a Workgroup, I rejoined it to the
domain with the same results. I can ping the server by both name and
IP, but if I try to access a share, I get the message "There are
currently no logon servers, etc.". Also on one of the new XP machines,
I constantly have to re-authenticate. Every now and then after
rebooting the new xp machine, it will ask me for a username and
password when I click on a mapped drive even though I entered a valid
username and password upon logging in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Danny
