XP Pro in Domain

[Mark [Support]]

Hello all

I am running a windows xp pro client in an Windows 2000 AD domain.

The XP client can't see the domain and therefore can't login to it's
resources. It can see the internet fine and can ping the domain server.
All TCP/IP setting seem right and I have even assigned a static IP just to
be sure. XP boots fine, but in the logs it show the can't find domain
error. Nothing really specific. The windows 98SE machine right beside it
work fine on the domain.

Any help would be aprreciated.

Cheers
Mark

Troubleshooting the Domain Locator Process
1) Check Event Viewer on both the client and the DNS server for any errors.

1.. Verify that the IP configuration is correct for your network by using
ipconfig /all.
2.. Ping both the DNS IP address and the DNS server name to verify network
connectivity and name resolution. .
3.. Use nslookup servername.domain.com command to verify that DNS entries
are correctly registered in DNS.
4.. If nslookup command does not succeed, use one of the following methods
to reregister records with DNS: a) force host record registration by using
ipconfig /registerdns; b) force domain controller service registration by
stopping/restarting the Netlogon service.
5.. If you still have the same issue, use Network Monitor to monitor
network traffic between the client and the domain controller.
