How can I add a computer to a network in my office with one server (Win2000
Advanced Server ed.) and 6 clients?
Also I want to read some basic info about the networking and understand the
difference between Workgroup, domain, user, IP address.

TIA

Assuming a more or less default configuration for Active Directory and DHCP
on the server and Win2k on the new computer:

1. Physically connect the new computer to the network with an ethernet
cable.

2. Start the machine and log on with an account that is a member of the
local administrator's group.

3. Right click on My Computer and select Properties.

4. Click the Network Identification tab and click the Properties button.

5. Click the circle next to 'Domain' and enter the domain name eg.
mydomain.com - click OK.

6. You will be prompted for a user name and password - you must enter a
valid domain user name and password. If you successfully join the domain,
you will be told to reboot. Upon restarting, the default is to log onto the
local machine - click Options to select and log onto the domain.
