can't log in to domain server

Hi ,
I am having trouble logging my XP Pro SP2 notebook into a Windows Server 2003. Error - "Logon Message - Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found.......". I have tried connecting the laptop with another cable and a different LAN point and still get the same message. I tried another computer using the same login details (username, password and domain) and it logs on fine although rather slow. When I plug the lan cable into the notebook it says it is connected and acquires the right IP address. The notebook was connecting to the server a few days ago.
Any suggestions ??????

Have you got the correct IP address details?
