I am having trouble joining a Windows XP Pro machine to a Windows NT 4
domain. The Primary Domain Controller is running Windows NT 4.
I have searched through Google as much as possible. I have Netbios
enabled over TCP/IP on my Windows XP machine. When I browse the
network on my XP machine, I can see the PDC. But it will not connect
to the domain. I tried making the workgroup the same name as the
domain and then trying to join the domain, but no luck.
I have administrative permission on the PDC also.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!!
 
You have to change the workgroup on the XP machine to a domain member, not
just a workgroup with the same name. you have to enter the wksn in the
domain manager and enter the user as a domain user.
