I am on the client windows 2000 machine and am having problems logging in. I log on as administrator and remove myself from the domain wwtp. then i restarted and tried to add myself to the domain and it said the network path cannot be found? I open up network places and i see the domain and i can see my computer under that domain still. this is happening to all the computers on my network what do i do? plus all the computers i have on the domain wont let me log on any users that dont have administrative rights.
I have a Windows 2000 server 25 workstation running win 2000 pro and sp1 and exchange 2000. some one please help.

if you are already doing these things then you need to provide further details on your network configuration so that you can get some help
