I'm trying to join my vista desktop (wired) to our domain running Win 2K.

It allows me to enter the domain name, then asks for administrator password,
then I get this error:

"An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has
failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that
can resolve DNS names in the target domain."

I'm a novice when it comes to DNS settings, but I can see that my computer
is not listed in the active directory of the server.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Try to disable your firewall on windows 2000 server and add your computer
onto the domain. if it done with success then enable your firewall.
hope that every thing will be ok after.

I disabled our NetShield but did not find a windows firewall and am still
unable to join. What am I missing?
