Running Win2k Pro and Server at home
for testing purposes.
i have this strange problem.
i tried to join my win2k server domain
but after supplying the user id and
password of the person authorized to
enter the domain.

it always shows.
"Domain not found
Invalid network path "

i am using static ip and same Sub Net Mask
i can see my server if i configure the win2k to join the workgroup.
i have added the pc name to the
active directory.

Where did i go wrong ?

Win2k uses DNS primarily. It can use WINS, but by default use DNS unless you add WINS. Therefore, make sure you have your DNS settings setup correctly on your server and that you enter the DNS address in the client machine. Hope this helps!

Did you set up W2k server as a domain controller and then change your mind and reinstall as a stand-alone?

Is the W2k Server's HD formatted NTFS?

I've seen a similar occurance with above.
