Domain problems

Comment:
I just installed a Windows 2003 SBS to my network and I am having trouble with setting up the new domain. I currently have a Windows NT server and a 2000 server. My NT server is the PDC and to get the 2000 server to connect I had to disable active directory. when setting up the new server I created a "mmcoa.local" like I was supposed to. my orignal domain was just "mmca" I can get the 2000 server to connect to the new domain but I cannot get any of my XP Pro or 98 clients to connect. they all say path not found or wrong password/logon disabled. What am I doing wrong?
is there any way I can get the 2003 server to take over the NT domain? I don't think it's possible but I figured I would ask.

SBS should be a root of the forest of the AD, as I know...
