Can access everything except the DC wont validate my login

Hi,

I have an unusual situation.

I have three computers. One is a Win2003 Server which is configured as a
Domain Controller. (location.local)

I have two vista PCs.

One seems to be working ok, the second however is showing some rather odd
connection issues.

When I log on to the domain on the PC the event log gets the event ' There
are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.' This
always occurs.

I can ping the Win2003 Server using either its domain name, or its IP
address. I can also browse the network and can see the server. When I dlb
click on the server computer in 'my network' it then asks me for my user
name and password. I am then able to enter my details and get access to the
server.

I am running DHCP,DNS and WINS on the server. When checking out the
allocations/assignments on each of those I can see that the VistaPC is able
to register itself and get its IP address etc.

Doing a IPCONFIG /all on the Vista PC I can see the address for all the
items are correct.

I have also switched from a wireless adapter to a wired adapter (my machine
has both) and see if there is a difference. (I disable the adapter not in
use)

What else can I do to get my Vista PC to be able to logon properly....

Thanks

Can you ping the DC by FQDN? Or this search result may help.

Hello Newbie,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the DC and the problem Vista.

Best regards
