Using firewall Win2k into NT4 Domain

[Jennifer]

I am trying to add a windows 2000 server to an NT4 Domain
controller, I have ports 137,138,139 are open to the PDC
for the NT4 Domain andI am using a LMHOSTS file and HOSTS
file for name resolution when I try to insert the server
in the domain I get the error Name Service lookup problem
can't find the Domain Controller. Should I open the port
137 to WINSand port 53 to DNS server? is that the problem.

Another observation is nbtstat show no <1C> entry read
from LMHOSTS file

Any help is appriciated.

See link to the KB article below. I have never tried that but port 135 TCP needs to
be also available - read whole article about RPC. Another thing to try is to run
Netmon on the W2K box while you are trying to join the domain to see what
ports/protocols it is trying to send to the NT4.0 PDC. Make sure you save your
hosts/lmhosts files without an extension. You may also want to post in a NT
newsgroup. --- Steve
