log in problems

We have a Win 2K AD server & occasionally we have a few
computers that no one can log into (network). They are
Win 2K Pro PCs & they are random. The only way to get the
PCs on is to remove them from the network & then add them
back to the domain. Has anyone had this problem before?

Please help.

Could be secure channel problems that you can use the netdom utility to try
and reset without having to drop to workgroup (secure channels are reset
every 30 days by default). However verify that dns is working correctly and
they are always able to resolve the dns domain name when you ping it etc.
Also check hw (switches/routers/hubs/etc) if these machines are all using
the same and others that don't have this problem are using others. A lot of
what the problem might be depends on what errors they see trying to logon
and what's in the event logs, but those things are some that I would check.
