Unable to join a domain - Netdiag: No DCs are up.

I have a Windows 2000 SP4 workstation that was having problems with policy.
I disjoined the workstation from the domain and it was no longer able to
join the domain again.

Running Netdiag /d:domain_name /v gives me an "No DCs are up" error although
the dc discovery return all 2 of the DCs.
Running the same command on another PC in the same network has no such
problem.

Type explorer /e, \\domaincontroller_1\anyshare$ return no error when
appropriate user & password is given.

There seems to be no firewall install on that workstation.

There is nothing in the lmhosts or hosts.

ipconfig /all seems normal enough.

Anyone has any clue? Or is there any log to trace what happened?

Windows 2000 AD domain with group policy

Cheers,

You have said you checked the IP configuration. Surely you did it, but
define Primary DNS Server with the Server IP address ( there may be a timeout
issue ).
