Disconnected from Network

[royhouser]

I have a PC, running Windows XP, in my office that gets disconnected from the network almost daily. I've disabled the power settings ("Allow to shut off to save power"), couldn't find anything in his profile on the server that would cause, and even replaced his nic. What am I missing? Has anyone ever came across this? Is there another setting on his machine or profile that I should check?

I figure if anyone can figure this out, it's the people here. Thanks a ton for any feedback!

Is there anything in the Event log which might give a clue?

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to reply, I've been out of the office and I just finally got a chance to check the event logs. Here's what I found:

"No Domain Controller is available for domain DOMAINNAME due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. .
Make sure that the computer is connected to the network and try again. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."

***EVENT 2
w32time warning-(EventID 14)
"The time provider NtpClient was unable to find a domain controller to use as a time source. NtpClient will try again in 30 minutes.

***Event 3
w32time error (Event ID 29)
"The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 29 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.

How can I fix this? It has become a HUGE nuisance at this point.

Thanks

Did you fix this. I have the same problem and similar event logs entries.

Thanks

Check the NT or Windows 2000 forums - your domain has communications issues. I've seen these in plenty of places - but I only deal with the Citrix servers normally so don't know the root cause.
