I use win2k so the buttons might be in a slightly different location but the process is the same. Essentially you need to right click on my computer and select properties, click on the Network Identification tab, click on the Network ID button to join a domain, then follow the instruction for joining. You'll have to enter the name of the computer, as well as your name, password, and domain, other than that it should be a snap. (you'll have to reboot when you're done, but no worries, it will tell you to do so.) As a minor point, there is a wierd error that exists, if you are using NTLMv2 and have netbios disabled on the server this will not work, either lower your security or turn on netbios and you'll be fine (if you don't know what that is, you probably don't have to worry about it).
