Problems with AD configuration?

I had to rebuild a server over the weekend (Oh, joy.)
I have DNS and DHCP enabled and configured with Active Directory (this
is a one-server network with 10 workstations.)

When working on the workstations I was trying to add a domain group to
the local PC's administrators group. Although the domain was set up
and I was able to join the computer to the domain when I tried to add
a domain group to the locak PC's administrators group the system said
that the domain could not be contacted. When I went BACK into the
ADVANCED tab (on the client computer) the LOOK IN box was now grayed
out.

I searched MS for an answer and they said to check that SysVol and
NetLogon were shared. In Net Use it shows that Sysvol and Netlogon are
shared.

I'm sure this is something I missed doing but I'm lost.

I installed Windows 2000 server, installed DHCP and DNS (dns was
installed by the Active Directory wizard). I ran Netdiag /fix and
dcdiag /fix.

Still have the problem. Any thoughts???
