Try the local administrator account. If you can login using the local administrator, check your network connections.

If you are working in a University or a similar campus environment, the network admins may have shut off your port for various reasons.

I setup the machines, one at a time, first renamed each macine, then rebooted. Then I went in as administrator, and setup the domain name, it saw it, asked me for username and password, and then rebooted. I then signed on, as administrator under the new domain name, and setup everything was ok. Shut down and logged back in as the new user, and then setup the user. Everything was fine, logged off for the night, and then in the morning, login said it could not login to domain. It did not accept either login names.

DCHP is working.. The systems worked for a short while. Is the machine naming convention critical?

It sounds like the network connection stops working. Did you set them up locally then move them to another location?

Is DHCP setup and working or are you using Static IP addresses?

Are there any notable entries in the event viewer on those machines? (Start | Run | eventvwr.msc) Look for any errors or warnings that might happen around the time when the machine either comes up to a sign on screen or when they try to sign in. Those events may help shed light on the cause of the problem.
