Andy,

I'm not sure why you want to join their domains.

In answer to your question your computer can only belong to one domain at a time.

However, what do you need to do that requires a machine connected to the domain? You can logon to file shares etc without being part of a domain - as long as you provide a domain logon when you connect to the share. If you need to be a domain user, it would probably be easier to use Remote Desktop into a W2K or W2K3 server.

There are also reasons why you wouldn't want to join an AD - they may have computer policies that are inappropriate for your system.
