IOf the 2k server is Active Directorised (I made that word up) then you will need to patch the NT boxes to make them AD aware. Otherwise, invest in soem 2k boxes, or rebuild the network without AD.

Almost forget, on NT4 the 'Client for MS Networks' is the Server and Workstation services which are also required for AD domains.

This is a common problem on NT machines on a 2K domain.

The fix is simple.

Logon to that NT machine as the local admin...
Go into the network properties...
Put the 2K Server's I.P. in as the primary dns and move the existing DNS if used to the secondary.

Reboot the machine, logon as normal user on the domain.

try logging on as local administrator and change the name of the computer and reboot. logon as local administrator again and try joining the domain. If that doesn't work check to make sure that you may have to check the tcpip properties and make sure you are on the same network.
