Does your domain use DNS or WINS for name resolution?

If you use broadcast based name resolution, you probably have a standard Windows
Networking issue.
# Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently (Enable or Disable, but BE
CONSISTENT).
# Make sure that all personal firewalls are properly setup.
# Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup.

I just got a new pc, dual boot xp and vista ultimate (build 6001) and I can't get the vista side to join the NT4 domain for anything. It only wants to join active directory.

we had another vista pc at work a few months ago and i got it to join, and see network shares by lowering the network security policy, but ultimate doesn't have the same options
any help is appreciated
