WIndows 2000 server will not allow login

[joehahn]

I have a small Win2000 server network. 9 PC, 5 Win2K, 4 new Dell WinXP Pro. I changed from DSL to Cable modem for ISP. All Win2K machines sign on to Domain, now only 2 of the original machines can sign-on to the Domain, all others can only sign on to the local machine, but can map the server drives and get at all resources off the server. I have tried many things, thinking it was DNS, or DHCP issues, the best clue I have is that there may be some security issues which only affect login on the Domain, machines were networked for the domain. MS-Knowbase suggested running "netdom.exe" to recreate the secure connections, but when I try, it tells me 'network path not found' and I can't do this, even though I am doing it from the server.

Am I on the right track? Or is 'netdom' a waste of time.
Thanks for any and all assistance.

Do you have an internal DNS? If yes, make sure all computers point to the internal DNS. or use nslookup to troubleshooting.

Using ipconfig /all indicates all machines have DNS access. This is where I thought the problem was, not it appears to be some security issues, that is why I am looking at the 'netdom reset' command. But getting a 'network path not found' error, even though on the server command line.
