Cannot connect XP Pro to Win 2003 Domain

[Angus]

We're got an XP Pro SP 2 PC trying to connect to our Win2003 domain. The
'Domain' line in Computer Name Change is not visable - only Workgroup is.

Any suggestion on how wer can get this PC to connect to our domain?

Thanks

Did you already add it to the domain from the workgroup and was prompted to
restart?

 

[Angus]

No, the domain line does not show up. The only one is Workgroup.

Hi Angus,

It becomes visible when you click on the Domain radio button.

You answered No to my question so I'm thinking you haven't really added the
computer to the domain.

If you did actually add it to the domain, I would log into the computer with
administrative privledges dis-join it from the domain and back to the
workgroup. Re-boot, then try adding the computer back to the domain.

The radio button and line for Domain are not visable. I have verified that
this is XP Pro also.

Thanks

Have you clicked on the Network ID button to see if you can join that way?
