Using Windows 2000 I try to connect to a specific domain. It asks me for a userid and password for the domain, which I have. It also asks me for the computer name for the domain. I don't understand how my computer name becomes a member of the domain.
Does it have to?

Novell gets kind of tricky with 2000 domains. I have found that the only way to get an user into a 2000 domain with certain policies is to make the computer a member of the 2000 domain (This must happen). When using the 4.8 client with Novell you must log on workstation only and make sure the NT/2000 tab has the correct user and Domain information entered. Again you must logon workstation only after registering the computer with the 2000 domain. Computers being a member of the Domain are critical for 2000.
