I am using laptop with windows xp and was trying to add it to the domain. I mistakeningly added it to a workgroup instead and now it will not let me add it to the domain. I tested the card and it is working. How can I add this laptop to the domain?

i bet if you add it to another workgroup with a different name, reboot, then try re-adding it to your domain, it will work. it doesn't like workgroups and domains named the same some times....

If you are running XP Home, you will not be able to add it to a domain...just a workgroup.
