Client is on WinXP, server is Windows2003. When we try to join domain,
keep getting the error message: Network path is not found.
Any ideas?

Windows XP Home Edition cannot join a domain.
You need Windows XP Professional.

Usually a DNS problem. Make sure the client is configured to use an internal
domain DNS server and not your ISP's DNS server. Could also possibly be a
firewall or permissions issue. If you are not directly connected to the
Internet (and you shouldn't be if you are in a domain) then temporarily turn
off the firewall. If you are using the Windows firewall it will be
configured by the domain group policy once you are connected to the domain.
Make sure the account you specify to use for joining the domain has the
appropriate permissions e.g. domain admin.

Does the computer have a network card? Are the correct drivers
installed? Is it properly configured for the necessary network protocols?

Yup, has a network card, correct drivers installed and propert
configured for the network protocol.
Does the computer have a network card? Are the correct drivers
installed? Is it properly configured for the necessary networ
protocols?

I think you may have misunderstood when I said turn off the firewall. I
meant make sure the Windows firewall or any other firewalls i.e. Norton,
Zone Alarm etc. on the client are turned off while trying to join the
domain. Don't turn off your perimeter firewall. Try setting the DNS on the
client to point to a DNS server running on a domain controller and make sure
there are no other DNS servers listed in ipconfig /all

Managed to join domain! Finally! The culprit...port 445. This has to b
opened at the firewall to enable the join domain. However it also ha
the tendency to attract viruses. So need to have pretty good firewal
to take care of this.
Thanks to everyone who contributed their ideas.
