Type in the run box dcpromo

Win2K pro: Right click on My Computer and go to properties. Then click on network Identification. Then click on the properties button. Next click on the Member of.. Domain button and type the DOMAIN name there. It will ask for a valid domain Administrator account to do this. ALSO!!! your workgroup name CANNOT be the same as the DOMAIN name you are about to change to. James Collins

Windows 2000 uses DNS to find a domain controller...
Is your DNS set up and working ?
Is your Win2K pro box pointing to the DNS server ?
I have not failed, I just found 10000 ways that don't work
