XP Mode on domain

I have Windows 7 enterprise running and XP mode for some older home grown applications. The nature of the home grown programs dictate that I put the XP Mode on the domain as well for AD authentication purposes. On one computer out of eight that this running successfully on the XP Mode no longer recognizes the domain. It did work....I had a training session with the user to ensure that it worked and go over some of the enhancements that are now available maybe two hours after I left though it stopped seeing the domain or other network resources.

ANy help/ideas would be great

Start with the basics. Make sure the XP Mode VM has full IP connectivity to the domain.

Make sure the VM network adapter is functioning in the correct manner.
Try pinging the DNS server and gateway from the XP Mode VM.
Ensure the XP Mode VM can resolve domain names via the domain's DNS servers.

Thanks for the reply

VM Network adapter was able to let me get on to Internet from the XP Mode.
I was able to ping the DNS by IP and by name.
I was able to ping several other company servers by name and netbios name as well.
Although I have noticed that I have had to use the full domain name to join to the domain and not just the "short name"
