If posters are connected to a domain, they should talk to their network administrator and not rely on sites like this. Thanks Wesley, you’re absolutely right.

The machine needs to be ghosted BEFORE it joins a domain. If you have not done this, then disjoin, delete computer name from active directory, then rejoin. Problem solved.

You'll have to change the network settings as described above to fix the problem.

It's coming off of a machine I just ghosted (and yes, I've changed the name) I've even set the name to a misc string of characters, and still, this error pops up. I don't know why this is happening yet. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m getting this error on a school novell network atm.

You may want to take care with any Wireless LAN equipment you have. It sounds like your system was logging onto someone else’s wireless network.

I did not get the error message, so maybe that was the problem. I still don't feel good about it though. I download/update the Norton virus definitions daily, run the norton AV and security scans. I also routinely scan with ad-aware. I did update Ad-aware to the anniversary version, but that should not have caused the problem. I disabled the wireless connection, and rebooted the computer.
