I tried that setting and one other today:

- I changed the setting to this:

     hosts allow =

   (it's an empty value).  I could join the PC to the domain.

- I changed the setting to this:

     hosts allow = 10.208.29. 10.108.29.

   I could _not_ join the domain--got the "RPC Server is unavailable"
   message.

Would it make sense to capture the network traffic between the client and 
server?  If so, what are the ports I should be looking at, and what sort 
of messages would be passed during a domain join session?

Thanks,
Carl
