I have a microsoft domain in my home which i use for research and for
microsoft certification. Last week i bought a wireless router and a wireless
adapter for my notebook.It is now configured and the problem is i could not
join the windods xp wireless client to the domain. Does anyone has a
suggestion on how to go about it. Hoping to hear from someone soon.

If you are using the router's DHCP function, the most common reason for
problems joining wireless clients to a domain is DNS. When you configure
many routers to pump out the AD domain's DNS server IP, the router will
actually give out the router's IP and then forward to the AD DNS server. In
most cases this works fine, but the inherent latency can be just enough to
kill a domain join. Try: turn off the router's DHCP function and configure
the DC as a DHCP server; or manually configure TCP/IP on the client - at
least for the initial join process; you should never have both the router
and the server providing DHCP.
