Cannot log on domain

I have just installed windows vista RT2 build. I cannot log on to the actual
computer domain. I know it is the right username and pass but it will not
accept it... I used to be on a network and can access my campus account but
not the computer domain. Please help
thanks

Re: Cannot log on domain

Your best bet will be to contact your network administrator as there are a
series of settings that a Windows Server machine need to do to allow certain
things on Vista to run on a domain. They may need to elevate Windows Server
to the higher level for Windows 2000 and above machines, or you're simply
not being authenticated properly.

In effect, this is actually OK because Windows Server is protecting the
network from an unauthorised machine. If it's a college/university network,
talk to the admin guys and surely they'll help you out )
