dymonddavid Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 I am a computer tech by trade and have never seen this before unless the cables are bad, the server is down or the password or ID is incorrect.But none of these are the case.- Other PC's login fine and never have a problem- Wires are certified cat6 cabling and has been re-certified because of this.-Pasword and ID are correct. Have tried these on other pc's on the network and they work fine- IP is hardcoded and internet is visable on these PC's- Can ping any PC on the network including the serverHere is what happens- enter password, press enter (ID is there already, have even reentered ID to make sure)- Nothing happens for a few seconds, about 20-30 seconds- it comes back and says the usual message about the either the domain was not found or the password was incorrect?- sometime it works the first time, sometimes it takes up to 10-12 times and more sometimesThanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
