Im in trouble. I cant get my XP clients Join my Domain on a 2000 server.
Ive tried turnig off the firewall on the clients. does not work
Do I need to uprade to 2003 server?
im frustrated



 
Check your DNS settings. XP Clients can join NT4, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003 domains fine.

Better still, post your DNS settings from the server and from a client that isn't joining.
 
a) Check your TCP/IP settings on the client - if you are using DHCP this should work just fine.
b) If you manually assigned address, chances are you have a wrong setting in subnet, or DNS host

c) - The firewall only needs to be turned off if you are at another machine trying to get TO the XP client.
