Also check it's dns configuration and make sure that it points to ONLY AD domain
controllers running dns for the domain and never an ISP dns server. Try to ping the
dns server by IP and name and use nslookup to verify correct operation. Also run
netdiag on it looking for any failed tests/errors/fatal warnings that may indicate a
problem with locating the domain controller or it's secure channel/computer account.
Don't rule out a flaky nic/cable/port. --- Steve
