XP-SP2 upgrade no longer finds domain controller

[bobt]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

The domain controller is NT4.0 (sp6 w/current patches).
Prior to SP2 upgrade, the logon to domain controller worked fine (and still
does for
all other machines).
After SP2 upgrade, the initial logon fails - says cannot find domain
controller. I turned off firewall completely and still no difference.
If I try to change computer name/domain after local logon, it fails and says
cannot find user name or password wrong (tried multiple times).
However, I can connect network drives fine from DC with the same user name
and password.

Any ideas (besides the obvious, upgrading from NT for the DC).

Thanks,
BobT

Netlogon over TCP/IP is enabled?
After unsuccessfully finding a domain
controller open a dos prompt and run
nbtstat -c; what do you see?

Even though you turned off the firewall did you also stop/disable the
Windows Firewall Service? I had a weird issue with a SP2 box and the
firewall would not turn off completely from the Security Center until after
the I also disabled the service and rebooted.

Verify Netbios over tcp/ip is enabled.
After a failed logon attempt open a dos
prompt and run nbtstat-c. What do you
see?
