Small 3 workstation network behind a linksys router, in a office building with t-1. The network doesn't interact with the other workstations or pc in the building, only internet access. One of the workstations was running slow today after being on over the weekend, rebooted and now the workstation wont log on, it says"unable to log user on the computer, domain (ex) is unavailable. The workstation never required a password before and was never set and isn't on a domain. The proposed domain name is the workstation name. Please help XP Pro w/SP1..

Have you tried to boot into safe mode and check the Network Connections applet?

System restore to before the weekend. Service pack it.
If no help, take an XP cd and run a repair;
Since there is confusion on how to easily repair an XP box, do this;
Boot using the XP cd, do not choose to repair the first time you see the repair option.(Thats a console repair)
Go through the motions of installing until you see the repair option again, choose it....
It will look like its re-installing, but its replacing the system files.
Service pack, Critical updates after that..
