It sounds like to me that your BDC was your domain master browser. It contained the list of all the computers in your domain. Normally, if the browse master is turned off, an election will be forced with the remaining computers, but that can take up to 15 minutes I think? I seem to remember a quirk about Windows 2000 where it will always try to authenticate to the same domain controller. This could be what you ran into.

Today Morning I switched off the BDC for some reason and only the PDC was running . The 2000 professional macines logged in but were not able to access the LAN(Intranet) through Network Neighbourhood. It displayed a error message saying System not accessible as no login servers (Domain servers) are available to complete the request. I pinged the particular System which I wanted to access it pinged fine. After that I switched on the BDC and tried to acess the Intranet all systems were able to access the LAN. I want to know 1. Should BDC be running along with the PDC and where are the Domain User name and Password verified? 2. What is the solution to the above said problem and what are the steps i need to follow to rectify this problem?
