    Error while joining XP client to a Windows NT Domain

    Hello, i am not able to my Xp computer to Windows NT 4.0-based domain.And when i try to change the domain membership in the Identification Changes dialog box, one error message occurs telling:
    Network Identification:

    The following error occurred validating the name "domain name".

    The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

    The cause of this problem may be NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) is disabled on the client computer or the TCP/IP protocol is the only protocol that is installed on the client computer.

    So to first of all to resolve this problem enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) on the workstation. And to join XP client to a Windows NT Domain, follow this steps:-
    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

    2. On the Computer Name tab, click Change.

    3. Under Member of, click Domain, type the name of the domain that you want to join, and then click OK. You are prompted to provide a user name and a user password to join the computer to the domain.

    4. Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.

    Now reboot the computer to apply your changes, and you are done.

    You can also join the domain by using the Network Identification Wizard. To do so,
    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

    • On the Computer Name tab, click Network ID, and then follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
