Go to START, CONTROL PANEL, NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER, in the left
pane choose MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS, rightlcick your LOCAL AREA
CONNECTION, choose properties and go to INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION4,
mark it and choose again properties. Here you can see either a fixed
ip configuration or the settings are for DHCP, obtain an IP address
automatically. If AUTOMATIC open a command prompt and type ipconfig
/all. The result should be something like this:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network
Connection
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.x.x(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Wednesday, September 03, 2008
7:51:28 AM
Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, September 06, 2008
7:51:26 AM
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.x.x
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.x.x
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.x.x
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
Also it can be that your network uses 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x addresses.
For
DNS server it should only point to your domain DNS server which i will
assume
is your Domain controller.

No, no real knowledge about administering a domain. Will definitely
leave any tweaking and configuring to someone who does know about
admin and active directory.

I understand the steps you gave except the client pointing to the
domain DNS server with the nic. I know the DNS.. just not sure how
the NIC points to it. To add to the fun the new computer is Vista
which I've never used.

Do you have any knowledge about administering a domain and Active
directory?

The clients needs to point to the domain DNS server with the NIC,
then
rightclick
MY COMPUTER, choose properties and use the Network identification
tab,
click
properties, go to member of and check DOMAIN, fill in the domain
name,
now
you will be prompted for an account that is either domain
administrator or
an account that has the right to join computers to the domain. If you
have
entered the credentials it takes some time and it should pop up with
"Welcome
to the domain". Then you have to reboot and can logon with domain
user
accounts.

We have a domain.

Do you have workgroup or a domain? In a domain you have to add the
machine to the domain with and domain administrator account. In a
workgroup, just make sure that the workgroup name is the same.

Can someone point me to a website or tutorial on adding a computer
to
a
network with Windows Server 2003? One of the computers on our
network
has
been replaced and the tech who setup our network with the server is
no
longer in the area. I'm hoping just adding a computer and user is
straightforward enough that we can tackle it.
Thanks in advance for any help
