My boss has a Sony notebook with Windows XP. He also has a desktop. We have
Windows 2003 Small Business Server on our server. The notebook connects to
the network wirelessly. We have a domain.

Our network policy is to force people to change passwords periodically. My
boss changed his network password using his desktop. When he tries to login
with the notebook it won't recognize his new password and it won't log him
on. It WILL allow him to log into the notebook with his old password, but
when he does that he has no internet connection or ability to access anything
on the network.

I've tried using ipconfig /flushdns -- it didn't change the situation.
Help!

Connect the notebook on a wired connection. That alone should resolve the
problem. If not log on with the "old" credentials and then from an elevated
command prompt type "gpupdate /force" and reboot. Log on a second time
wired, then wireless should be fine. Repeat as necessary when password
changes.

Thanks. I'll try it when my boss is back in town with the notebook.

I'm having the same problem and tried but still hasn't solved my problem. Any other suggestions?
