I have a computer from work and I hooked it up to my home
network and stupidly changed the Network Config from the
Domain to Workgroup. Now when I try to change it back to
access the work server, it won't let me because it says:
"The following error occured validating the name "(My
domain)" This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup
problem. The specified domain either does not exist or
could not be contacted."
Now I know the domain name is correct. What can i do so i
dont have to take it in to the company's slow tech
support? Thanks
 
You're going to have to have your network's tech support folks repair the
damage you've done.
 
I have quite similar problem. I also changed Domain to
Workgroup, but I cannot even logon to my work laptop
(W2K). Reason why I changed it from domain to workgroup
was that I wanted to share my home files (Win XP) to work
laptop. How could I now logon? There are no domain
available in W2K logon screen. I have
tried "domain\username" and "(e-mail address removed)" but it
does not work. Any ideas what I could try next?
 
Same reply - your IT staff at work will need to repair the changes you've
made, while you're with them ask them how to use the laptop off the domain.
 
:I had the same problem before my current one. Go to
: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
: to find out about it how to reset the administrator's
: password

....for your OWN pc. you're probably already in violation of company policy,
this will not make it better. Causing extra work for the admin needlessly
is not recommended.
