Can't join domain

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

Immediately after the failed logon attempt open a dos
prompt and run nbtstat -c and verify the the following
netbios names are in the cache without conflict:
domain names 1b, 1c and computer names 00, 20,
and 03 all pointing towards the PDC of the domain
and without conflict.

Here's what I get

Node IP Address [10.226.72.35] Scope ID: []
Name
DC1 <20> Unique 10.226.72.34
Domain <1B> Unique 10.226.72.34
DC1 <00> Unique 10.226.72.34
DC2 <20> Unique 10.226.72.38

Where DC1 & DC2 are Win2K Servers and domain controllers

I would edit the lmhosts file to include the following
and then attempt to join the domain:

10.226.72.34 DC1 #PRE #DOM omainName
10.226.72.34 "Domainname \0x1B" #PRE

Let us know if this works.
