Workstation still thinks it is in a workgroup. I havve
also tried running the join network and domain from my
computer......and I still get the funky dns errors??

I may have to try and wipe out client completely and
reload XP Pro to see if that works. As I said, I am
ableto connect other clients so I don't think it's the
server.
