Is there a published set of instructions for getting AD authenticaiton working on 3.2.2?

I've been trolling around here and it seems everyone has a different problem and thus a different answer each time.

Currently, I'm using a fresh installation of 3.2.2 (second time in as many days) on II6/2K3 Server, ASP.NET 1.1

When I first login as admin and go to "Authentication", I get the error (and all options are disabled):

      "The default authentication provider specified in web.config is not configured properly. Authentication settings are disabled."

So, I uncommented the following line in my web.config::

      <add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" />

Log out, close browser, reopen, login as admin, goto Authentication...same error. So, I found a post that talked about making sure the following line matches my network:

      <add name="ADSIAuthenticationProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSIProvider, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSIProvider" rootDomain="sub.domain.net" emailDomain="mycompany.com" authenticationType="Delegation" searchPageSize="1000" providerPath="~\Providers\AuthenticationProviders\ADSIProvider\" />

Log out, close browser, reopen, login as admin, goto Authentication...same error. Then I found another post that said I needed to make sure I had

      <identity impersonate="true" />

in my web.config. Change that, try agin. No dice. Ok, another post talks about making sure you current user (impersonated or anonymous) has access to the AD. So, I changed the anonymous account within IIS Manager to an account that has AD access (I can verify because it's a service account we use for the same purpose in other web apps). Log out, back in, try again. Same thing.

Help? Please? My end goal is to authenticate users against the AD as an intranet site, preferably automatically.

Thanks for any help,

-chris
