I have a W2K DC and I am trying to add another server. I
have tried W2k3 and W2k. Both give me an error. When I
try to run DCPROMO I get "the wizard cannot gain access
to the list of domian in the forest. The error is: the
network address is invalid". When I just try to join the
domain it says "the network name cannot be found", I also
cannot map a drive to my other server saying "the network
path ... could not be found". I can map a drive from a
pc and the DC to the new server and from the new server
to my pc but not the DC. Thanks

It sounds like DNS, do you have the DNS primary pointing to the existing DC
in network properties. (I'm assuming that you have DNS running on the
existing DC)
