I am trying to connect a new XP pro machine into an
existing TCP/IP network operating from a W2K server. I
can ping the domain controller from the XP box, but can't
find any machines if I browse the network from XP.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,

Scott A.
 
Hi, Scott -

I may be a bit off-base but it sounds to me like the XP
Pro *machine* doesn't have an account on the domain.
Someone with permission to add workstations to the domain
will need to create a machine account for the XP machine -
they can either do that from the domain controller with
or from the workstation. If you're not a domain admin on
this network it might be a good time to get one
involved :)
