The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted

[StevenA1]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question or not but here it is.

I have a Window XP Pro SP2 computer that when it tries to access our SharePoint website (Intranet) it gives this error: The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted. (This is with Show friendly HTTP error off)

This computer can access the website if I enter in the URL the FQDN (name.domain.com) but I can not access the website by just name when I type it in the URL.

Thanks for any help

Nope, nothing in those, the weird thing is I can go into the host file, create a entry like Intranet, give it the IP address of Share Point and it will connect to the website fine by that name, but I can't use the name that it should be using to connect. I know it has to do with that computer as everyone else can connect without issues.

Thanks,

Is the Website Name unique on the problem machine and not duplicated as the machine name or username on that particular machine?

Check your Netbios settings:

Sorry, just clutching at straws.
