Assuming all DC's are for the same domain, the one that is down may be the
global catalog, and possibly hold other important FSMO roles. Check to see
which is the GC.

In mixed mode, you need the PDC emulator to log on accounts.  There is one
per domain, and it's usually the first that was promoted to Win2k.  If you
can't get that other DC up, you have to "seize" the PDC emulator role
(thereby making your other DC the PDC emulator).  Check out Appendix C (page
1503) of the Distributed Systems Guide in the MS resource kit.

Can you reach the DC in any other way (ping). maybe the network link is
down.

check that it can contact a global catalog server, also don't forget the pdc
role if there are legacy machines
