Can you ping the member server from another workstation? If not that
points to some kind of wiring/nic/switch problem.
or
Was your domain controller restarting last night (windows update?) when
the backup was to happen and unavailable to the backup program to
validate the name?
Everyone can login now but maybe not last night when the backup job
tried to run.
Before you disjoined the server, could the server communicate with the
rest of the network?

Subject: [windows2000] Unable to connect to domain
Good Morning List,
We have a simple small business network. One domain controller, one
member server (accounting & bookkeeping) and ~25 workstations. Windows
2000 Server with Win2k & Win XP clients.
I come in this morning and I start receiving complaints that users
cannot print jobs from the printer that is installed on the member
server. Upon investigating a little further I find that the backup job
on the same member server failed. The reason being that the user's
logon account for the backup service was rejected. Event log states
that 'No domain controller could be contacted...' I know that this is
not correct because everyone can login, connect to network shares (on
the dc) and print (printers installed on the dc).
No dns changes have been made. The only other event that was different
was that we installed an ODBC driver on the member server yesterday. I
have since removed it. I'm beginning to wonder if the nic has gone
bad??? It has a green status light but...
I tried disjoining the member server from the domain and re-joining but
now it says it does not recognize the domain name.
Any insight would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Ron
