Can't find win2k server from NT4 workstation

I've tried several times to make an NT4 (sp6) workstation a member of my
domain (a sub-domain of a large university domain). Dial-up login
through the modem pool from XP systems works fine. When I attempt to
join the NT4 legacy machine to the domain, however, I get a
can't-find-domain-controller error.

How can I correct this?
 
I have an lmhost file on the machine and it will ping to the server by
the machine name of the server.
 
I run a WINS server and my DC is a member. I put the WINS address in
the TCP/IP dial-up networking connectoid to the modem pool on the NT
machine.

No luck though--still the same can't-find-domain-controller error!

Click to expand...

Let's say you finally get it "joined",....then...how will you ever log it
into the domain over a dialup since you have to already be logged in before
you can activate the Dialup to begin with? Win2000 and XP have the ability
at the Crtl-Alt-Del prompt,...I don't think NT4 does.

If you are using Dialup, then leave it a Workgroup machine, make the
workgroup name the same as the domain name, create a user account on the
machine that is identical to the account you use on the Domain and be done
with it.
 
Dialin server has granted rights to the nt machine and user account t
dial in?

The dialin server is also the Domain Controller?
Is it also running DNS server?
Is DNS referancing Wins?
Nt machine account exists on the Dialin server
