XPProSP2 on Win2003Srvr Problem
I have a network with a Windows 2003 server as my DC and it is running AD,
DNS and DHCP for about 15 Win2KPro workstaions. This works fine. I am trying to get a WinXPPro onto my network domain (WMP1). When I try to join from the XP computer I get an error that a DC for the domain WMP1 could not be contacted. I ran the Network Diagnostics tool in XP and it reported that a ping to its own IP address timed out. I don't understand why.

So now you know that you need to set the XP boxen to look for their DNS to the server. Malke -- MS MVP - Windows Shell/User Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
