Hi,
I have a windows 2000 serve Sp4 with Active Directory. When I try to
authenticate a windows XP workstation to the domain, I receive the username
and password box. I then get an error that says
"the network name cannot be found"
I am using the administrator account to authenticate. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mitch
