What steps are needed to have a DOS computer log onto a windows 2000 domain. This computer will connect via NIC card to a Novell 3.1 server but I can't get it to connect TCP/IP, it tells me there is no NIC card installed.

You'll need the Microsoft DOS client, not the Novell client. In DOS, these are almost mutually exclusive. At sites like www.bootdisk.com you can get the right files, and you still need the DOS NDIS driver for your NIC card of course.

What might also help is first trying through NetBEUI (if the W2K domain supports that) and TCP/IP afterwards - however first resolve the client/driver issue.

Hope this helps,
