Win2K AD account rights don't carry through on XP Pro

I setup a Win2k Active Directory Server with most of the
defaults, except for passwords and accounts. When I
attached a Windows 2000 Pro machine to the Domain I could
log into the Win2K Pro box with a Domain admin account
and I have local admin rights. I could add other Domain
accounts to local groups on the Win2K box.

When I attached a XP Pro box (the same way) I can log in
with a domain admin account but I don't have local admin
rights. When I try to add domain accounts to the local
group I can't even see the Domain Controller accounts. I
can access files on the Domain Controller but it's under
something like a domain user rights rather than admin
rights. I think the problem may be somewhere in Policies
but I'm not sure.

Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Do you have the DC set as your DNS server on the XP machine?

Also, if you log on to your XP machine as a local admin and enter this at
the command prompt (cmd.exe), what is the response?

net localgroup administrators "NameOfYourDomain\domain admins" /ADD
