Seacon,

On a network winch uses DNS solely to locate resources, you have to setup your
domain, and DNS infrastructure, precisely.
< http://www.**--****.com/ ;

If you can run "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from 2 or preferably 3
computers, and post the results here, we can help you identify the problem.
This article will explain how to provide both diagnostics.  The more details
about your network that you can provide, the better chance of identifying the
problem.

Or, you may benefit from reading this troubleshooting list, and resolving each
problem found.

 i found this entry at event log, its has created many entries to the event 
log and it is repeating the process.
Event ID 1000
Source Userenv

Windows cannot access the registry information at 
\\domain.com\sysvol\domain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machine\registry.pol with (1231). 

i found that, one of our user had tried to do someting in the server and by 
mistake delete or uninstall something. i guess something has happen to the 
DNS server. can i configure new DNS server and try to connect, will this 
cause damage further more.

I dont have sysvol backup to replace sysvol
