Hello... I need help... pretty bad...

This windows 2000 server is only used for SQL. there are no DNS or active
directory components in it. With that said, we have a new Windows 2003
server that I would like to connect to. But whenever I try to join the
domain, it asks me for a user name and password with access to join the
domain, and after putting the administrator password (for the domain) it
gives me an error. This is what is says in the event log:

Attempt to update DNS Host Name of the computer object in Active Directory
failed. The updated value was 'vacasql.Cavanagh-Connor'. The following error
occurred:
The security context could not be established due to a failure in the
requested quality of service (e.g. mutual authentication or delegation).

In the win 2003 server, I enabled the vacasql computer, but it's still not
working.

Please help!!!
 
I would check the DNS settings first. Or use nslookup to check the DNS status. These pages may help,
