Re: Active Directory logging in issues

Hi Steve,

2 potential problems come to mind:

- Personal Firewall - Are you running SCF or the XP built-in firewall?
Have you tried to disable it to see if that helps?
- The registry settings that XP uses to find the KDCs have somehow
gotten corrupted. Try to either run a "gpupdate" from the command line,
or unjoin and rejoin the machine to the domain. Those registry settings
come from a GPO.

Thanks,

John
