Same as with W2K under W2K Server, or for that matter for NT Workstation under NT Server.

My Computer - rightclick - Properties -
Network Identification.

Now specify the NT domain name. After some type, you are asked to type in an account/password with admin rights in that domain. At the end, get a welcome-to-the-domain message.
Did this 2 days ago, works nicely. After this (and reboot), indeed below username/password you can choose between (NT) domain logon and local account logon.At your service,

When you installed win2000 on this machine, did you join the network during install? If you did, then during login box, click on options, the domain name box will appear along with username password.
If this machine was already installed with win2000 and now you would like to join the domain, simply right-click the "my computer" icon and choose properties. The second tab at the top, called network identification, clcik that and choose to rename this computer or join a domain.
Good luck!

make sure there is a computer account created in domain database for the domain you would like to join.
