Problem with Server 2003 SP2

I'm having a problem with one of my servers. I rebuilt it and joined it to the domain prior to installing SP2. As a test I took it out of the domain, restarted and tried rejoining it and it wouldn't (this is in response to solving another problem) I'm getting this message:

"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain"
"The network connection was aborted by the local system."

I then decided to uninstall SP2 and it rejoined fine. A co worker was building a server in the other building and he installed SP2 and could join/unjoin just fine with SP2 installed.

All of our servers run SP2 but they were built at the beginning of this year and connected to Windows Update prior to being put in their current, isolated LAN. This lets me think that they may have picked up a hotfix or something during those updates that prevented them from having the same problems.

I've been trying to find a KB article but most of them deal with SMS servers. I'm not receiving any error events on the problematic DC or my primary DC. The only event ID that looked suspicious was 10016 but it only ocurred once.

I can't hook this server up to the internet at all. So suggestions will need to keep that in mind.
 
Did you check the event logs to see if there was an event ID? Also was the firewall on or off, that could also cause an issue. Try assigning a static ip, gateway and dns servers.
 
There aren't any suspicious event IDs except the one mentioned above and the firewall is off.
