Client Joining Issue Server 2008

I tried joining a client then. I still get the same error checked an made sure the DNS number didnt change. I have the machine added in AD

I dont understand, why its doing this though. The server has a static IP. Getting 0x000005B4 in the XP client

 

can someone seriously, help here?

 

maybe we could if you didn't start the story in the middle. What is the whole story?
Did you read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331072 this?

 

Orginally, I was able to have no real problems settings this up. I changed the borad after it wouldnt boot to data center. Thing is that I ended the same information as I had previously. Installed AD, DNS an DHCP, the server has a static IP. The Router has DHCP Disabled. My laptop can see server but, its on a workgroup

 

Also, when I checked the DNS on the NIC settings on the Server it was my loop back address. Which, I was told to make it my servers IP

 

can someone help? I have stuff sitting out on the main drive that I need too get off it. Also, put stuff out to the machine
