Vista-W2K Domain Join Trashes Networking

Hi,

I manage a small domain, one W2K Server Domain Controller and 10 XP-Pro
clients. We just added a Vista laptop, and I tried to join it to the domain
via both the wizard as well as direct setting changes. After joining the
domain and restartting, all network conectivity is lost and I see messages
saying the services and dependency groups failed to start. I also get
'access denied' messages when I try to open vista's firewall. Only fix is
to restore back to before joining the domain. I've searched the KB and
TechNet, and nothing!

As of this moment, I can only run the laptop setting the workgroup name the
same as the domain, but of course don't have any of my domain functionality.

Any advise?

any errors in the Event Viewer?

Nope, nothing looks completely normal!
