If you add a user in the form DOMAIN\User you will be an administrator
for that box. Maybe you just added the user as "user" - this will only
work for local logins, to log in as a network user (on to the domain)
add the user in the domain\user format, works perfectly here on xpsp2
and w2k.

Try the "Domain Administrator's" group.
Better yet, create an "Administrator" user on the domain (IIRC the UID
has to be 512, gidNumber must be 512), and log in as that user. Don't
make your day-to-day account an administrative account, especially if
you intend to use Internet Explorer as your browser for any purpose
(eg: Windows Update, comet cursors, the list of evils goes on).
Also check that you're running a SMB Domain, rather than a Workgroup.
