Is there a matching 40960 event?
If not, it probably is that Windows is looking for a reverse lookup zone.
If so, then it is more likely a forward lookup zone issue in DNS.

Yeah buddy I also started getting this error on one of my XP PC's. All the rest of the PC's are working fine, so can not be a DNS error.

Is something else I think. It basically won't authenticate at all. Probably try setting the security on the domian controller policy for digitally sign server and client communications all to disabled.

Also try deleting the user profile and recreating it.

cheers

Hi I just had this problem with a couple of w2k3 member servers on a 2003 native mode\AD domain. I was able to fix this problem by uninstalling the "client for Microsoft Networks" item from the NICs, rebooting the boxes, installing it again, and rebooting it again. Why this worked I am not exactly sure - It was kind of a stab in the dark at the time.

very strange....i just had this problem also and your fix for ms client worked thx

Hi.
I have the same problem! After a few days fight with this problem I have found, that theproblem is that, the NETBIOS is disabled. So if you enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP, then it should be OK.
This solutioin works in my case

the remove/reinstall of client for ms networking worked for me too. thanks for the tip.

Hi, What about windows 2000 and XP Pro, does it problem occurs over this plataform too?, I have this problem every day.

Thanks
