I have just installed a laptop running windows XP. When
attempting to join it to the domain, I receive a DNS
error. Our DNS is being hosted by a linux pc. Does
anyone have a suggestion on what could cause the domain to
be inaccessible to the domain controller?
 
Does the Linux PC acting as the DNS server contain the SRV records for the
domain and the domain controllers? Or is the Windows 2000 DC also running
DNS? If so, try changing the XP client to use the 2000 Server for DNS.
