I put a partion on my laptop with a clean install of Vista Business. I gave the computer the same name and login as my XP. The vista error when I try to join my domain: Login Failure: Unknown username or bad password. Any help.

do you have permission to join a computer to the domain?
Does the AD restrict Vista?
does the AD need the computer account name created first? (computer name registered).
is the NIC setup properly (is it reaching the domain?)

I AM the Network Administrator. The Server is an NT but does not have AD. I can get out to the internet so I know the NIC is working.
