Yes, Vista should be able to join the windows 2000 domain. I would check the DNS settings first.

My client has Vista ultimate. He's running a Windows 2000 Domain controller
(that is doing DNS, along w/his router).
For the life of me, I cannot get Vista to see or get on that domain - so
right now, I'm stuck in a workgroup. I can ping the Windows 2000 computer by
IP, but not by name. I can't ping any other computer on the network. Can
Vista even get on a Win2000 domain? I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks.
