Computers can no longer join Domain

I currently have a Win NT server and a Win2K server. I can no longer add new computers to our domain, either. The old computers are fine. I'm not sure what the problem is...the computer sees our domain but will not allow the computer to join it. I am logging in with Admin rights. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Emailing is ok too.

Sounds like a DNS problem, are you using ADI or Pri DNS ?

The new machines you're trying to add; have you set up in the networking wizard that your computer is used for business and is part of a domain?
If so, have you correctly put the domain name in and is not using a workgroup instead?

I am using AD. I did try the networking wizard as you mentioned above. I have tried quite a few things. I am choosing DOMAIN and not WORKGROUP. The error is basically that it can't find the domain. The domain is the same one that has been used for over a year. Any help will be appreciated.
