Cannot connect PC to domain

I have a Windows 2000 pc service pack 4 which will not connect to a Windows
2003 domain. When I try to connect message appears 'error occured attempting
to join the domain network location cannot be reached'. I've looked at 329866
and the TCP/IP NetBios helper service has been started.

1) Is the network cable plugged in and fully seated?
2) Can you ping the DC by IP? By name?
3) In the network adapter TCP?IP properties, is the client configured with a
'Preferred DNS Server' of a DNS server supporting the Active Directory
domain?
4) In the network adapter TCP?IP properties, is the client configured with a
'Primay DNS Suffix' matching that of the Active Directory DNS domain name?
5) Do SRV records for the DC exist in DNS?
6) Ensure the Internet Connection Firewall is *not* enabled on the DC and no
other host-based firewall running on it.
7) Run an adware/spyware scan on the client computer.
8) Ensure the domain is not a single-label domain name.
9) Verify you do not have a disjointed namespace. This can cause they same
sort of issues that a single-label name can cause.
