NSlookup returns both DC by name and ping works to both DCs

The computer name is not over 15 characters long?
Can you look up the domain by name via nslookup?
Can you ping all of the dcs in your site by fqdn?

Sorry for that.
This is a XP sp3 box with hard wired IP addresses for machine and DNS servers
The machine was renamed while not on the domain. I have added the machine name
in AD and done both direct add and network discovery.

you don't give much to go on, like the OS of the workstation, what version of
domain ( 2003 AD, 2008 AD, etc )
Have you checked for duplicate machine name, tried NewSid, verified your DNS is
pointing to a DC, check DNS for your workstation record, etc ...

Hello,
I have a computer that refuses to join the domain. I get as far as
entering the admin password to join the domain and it comes back with: The
network location cannot be reached However the machine can get emails from
the domain but just not join it
Thanks in advance
