I open Explorer, click on "My Computer", select Tools | Map Network Drive, click Browse... and the Browse for Folder dialog displays. The tree looks like this: My Network Places Entire Network Microsoft Windows Network MyBichinDomain where "MyBichinDomain" is the name of the domain on the NT4 server. But drilling into MyBichinDomain doesn't display any nodes underneath it. My W2K box is on MyBichinDomain. When I set up the XP box, it asked me for the domain name but when I entered it, XP couldn't find it so I had to blow by that dialog. (Can't find where to try to join it now, although if it's showing up under My Network Places, it seems that XP 'knows' about it...)
