We have a windows 2000 server domain controller. We just got 8 new XP pro computers. We joined them to the domain, but we keep losing connection to the network. For example, the network drives keep disconnecting and we can not access the network printers. I thought it might be a license problem , but how can I make sure, the 2000 server is win2k Standard. <br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
