I had the, uh, priveledge, of maintaining an NT4 domain with PDC, BDC, and a
mixed basket of clients from Win95 all the way through to XP. I didn't have
any problems with them joining the domain at all, however I ran DHCP & WINS
on the network. That, and the fact that the only protocol i ran was TCP/IP,
sounds like the only difference here.
