When I try to add an XP client to my AD domain, I have this error: network
path was not found.
I read some newsgroup posts, but I didn't found a solution to my problem.
I can ping XP client from DC and XP client can ping my Domain. However i've
got the error when I try to join the domain. Any solution?

With 2000 professional I've no problem.

Thank you in advance.
 
This is almost always a DNS issue. Your computer can't resolve domain
controller to add a computer to AD. Make sure, that you point all your
clients to internal DNS server and check with nslookup that they can resolve
srv records in your internal DNS server.

Matjaz is correct. You may find more information in the
Netsetup.log if DNS looks good. Its under the
C:\Windows\Debug directory.
