Getting a temporary profile is new information in this thread.

I have reread the original posting: there are two PCs involved.


What is the difference between the two (client) computers?
Use they both the same Domain Name Server?
                       WINS?  Master browser?

Check also the IP configuration, especial netmask and broadcast address.
I lost once much time on a subnetmask issue.
The client couldn't find the server due different broadcast addresses.
That could explain

 Error code 1332 :
   No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. 
 Error code 1355 :
   The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

from the original posting.


I hope that helps, because the next step would scare me:

Verifying that the XP computer _is_ part the domain.
