For the record, I found an incorrect entry in the WINS settings that was the above problem. So progress but all is not well.

When I try (and I am only working with on client test box at this time.) I fail to "find the network path" when I try to join. I do get a login request for username/password. After making an entry I get the error message a 1/2 minute later. To note the same error occures no matter what I give for the username and password. I have tried the admin account and my account with and with out the @domain for the usernames (in addition to one garbage entry.)

Now:

From the MS Knowledgebase: SYMPTOMS You are unable to add your Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server computer to an Active Directory domain. When you specify the domain to join, you receive the following error message:

The following error occurred when attempting to join "domain name". The network path was not found

CAUSE This behavior can occur if you are using an incorrect Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Domain Name Service (DNS) server.

RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, use the correct DNS server IP address and then join the domain.

MORE INFORMATION Click Start, point to Settings, point to Network and Dialup Connections, and then click Local Area Connection.
Click Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Click Advanced, and then click DNS.
Select the incorrect DNS IP address, and click Edit.
Type the correct IP address for the DNS server, and then click OK.
Click OK on the open dialog boxes to close them, and then click Close.

I have been through all of these settings several times and see nothing wrong. To test I did ping the domain controler with both the ip address and the domain name. Full response with both option. That tells me the DNS setup is correct, RIGHT?

I ask is there any other tests I can make from a "client" box to test the dns setup?
Am I missing the correct format of the username to login?

Thanks for reading.
