Hoping one of you network gurus can help me.

We are trying to register a W2K PC to a domain on a company network over a
dial up connection. Previously the network guy has only registered to a
domain while attached direct to the network on-site. When we try to do it
over dial up, we keep being told:

"The specified domain either does not exist or can not be contacted."

We have verified the DNS and WINS lookups configured for the dial up
connection are correct for the domain server. Several PCs have been properly
registered to the domain name before while on site. So far as we can tell
the only difference is this is through dial up rather than being directly
connected on site.

We have even tried dialling directly into the server handling the domain
(live RAS?).

Should this be possible over a dial up connection? Any ideas what could be
wrong?

Sorry if I have not described this completely. My network expertise is
fairly basic. So I am mainly repeating what the network guy is telling me.
