Cannot join XP pro to the domain

Hi

Windows Server 2000
Clients 2000 pro

Every thing is ok.

Tried to join to the domain 2 mobile XPs newly purchased,
and got the error message as follows:

"The specified server cannot perform the requested
operation."

I have looked at:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;fr;293403

TCP/IP is installed.

There is nothing in the Server Event log.

I know that this Group is for WS 2003. Anyone can help
please?

TIA

How is DNS set on the client? It should point to Active Directory DNS
(probably active directory server)?

Yes they point to the DNS server. They recognize the
server but the latter does not want them in the domain.
I can ping from/to the machines.

Thanks
