Check your Local Security Policy for "effective settings" for that security option to
see if it still shows 10. If it does, then you do have some other problem and it may
help to look in Event Viewer for any clues and run netdiag on your computer looking
for any failed tests that may help pinpoint the problem. If nothing helps and since
you are a local administrator try changing the setting to zero, rebooting the
computer, change it back to ten and reboot again. Then log onto the live domain, log
off and unplug the computer and see if it works again by trying to logon. --- Steve
