Why won't my Windows Xp Pro station allow me to connect to my Windows 2000 Server. I keep getting an error when I click on change in the system properties/computer name. I select domain and type in the domain name (FCDC). It then takes about 30 seconds to tell me that my domian can't be connected. I try the server name (Fserver) which asks me for a password. I enter the details (Admin details) and after a while I get another error message saying the specified server cannot perform the requested operation. I have told the server that I can connect the station to a domain. Whats wrong!

You are using the Admin account from the domain to try joining? If so and still getting blocked give the admin permissions to add computers to the domain.
