An update:

I have tried to remove the user profile and recreate a new one. Same
result happens of being prompter for a password, and then being
rejected. 

I have removed the account from Outlook and created a new one that
points to the user's account in Ex2k sp3. Same result. 

I have followed MS KB Q321652 which talks about missing one or more
values in the registry for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols. I looke dup
the registry entry, noticed one of them were missing, added the missing
string and rebooted. Same result.

I have taken password authentication to none. Same Result.

I have removed the local area connection in her Windows XP, installed a
new local area connection, and made sure that TCP/IP was in there. Same
Result. I however can not uninstall TCP/IP, just uncheck it. 

I have released and renewed ipconfig. Same result.

I have put her computer on DHCP. It was a static IP before, and we have
DHCP running in the office for laptop users. Same result.

Just to re-fresh everyone on this problem:

#####

I have been battling a problem with one of my user's machines for the
past week. She is running Windows XP Pro, Office XP Pro SP1. Whenever
she starts up her Outlook, she gets prompter for the username, password
and server.

I put the information in exactly as it should be (and have verified with
my AD on the server) and I get the following message:

"Your login information was incorrect. Check your username and domain,
then type in your password again. If your account is new or if your
administrator requested a password change you need to click Change
Password then logon with your new password."

I re-check the info in the AD on the server via VNC so I am right there
at her terminal doing double checks. I re-enter the password, and get
the message again. I change the password on the AD, then enter the new
password on her Outlook (usually use 1 as the password so I know I type
it correct) and still get the above error. 

I need to get this resolved for her as she is in charge of accounting
and has made my life hell in the past because since I am the IT Manager
I should be all knowing, all powerful (a common misconception by those
users that know no better)

So, please if anyone knows what I can do to resolve this, please let me
know. I'm at my wits end!
