new users in domain?

[Guest]

My workplace has 2 Windows 2000 servers. One has a DSL connection and shares
the Internet Connection. the other server, our domain controller, has
internal DNS and runs our Active Directory. We recently added some Windows
2000 Professional workstations. I can get these workstations to join a
workgroup, but not the domain and therefore can authenticate users from the
DC.
DHCP comes from the Internet sharing, DNS and Active Directory are on the DC.
If I cannot get these 2000 pro machines to join the domain. is there a way
to force the users to be authenticated on the network in order to use the
computer (like our win98 machines)?

What error do you get trying to join them to the domain?



DDS

Try listing the DC in the lmhosts file if you need help on how to do this
check here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314108 make sure you tell it
that this is the DC and what the name of the domain is.
