Thanks for the reply robert ill have to check that out on monday.

The other thing i forgot to put in the first post was the error message i
get if i try to add a client to the domain.

The Server cannot carry out the request(Something along those lines am not
at work now to check it sorry)

And also the computer that im joining shows up in the computers container
but is disabled and it doesnt seem to be joined at the client side(no
domain
list at logon screen.

Thanks again
Gareth

For some reason the windows firewall was blocking everything. I disabled it
and it is all working fine (except the firewall is turned off and not sure
why or what caused it to stop working).

Im of to re-enable it on item at a time and ill post back with the results.

Thanks for the help

server for that.

The forwarders on the DNS server itself should be taking care of that,
though.

Default domain problem.

Thanks for all the help Lanwench

Which firewall would you recommend?
The windows firewall has served me well until this weekend and still dont
know why it has stopped letting the workstations connect to the server.

The dhcp on the router is a bit of a problem as i dont have access to the
router and i cant really change anything because it also serves our database
server.(not sure if i can run dhcp on the server without it affecting
anything else)

Removed the secondary ip address from the workstaion.

Thanks

You shouldn't have your router doing DHCP - it works better if you use your
server for that.

Also, remove the 2nd DNS server here.

The second IP address listed as a dns server was a test to see if i
can access the internet which worked.


The forwarders on the DNS server itself should be taking care of that,
though.

Default domain problem.

Thanks for all the help Lanwench

Which firewall would you recommend?


For a small office perimeter device, I like SonicWALL.

The windows firewall has served me well until this weekend and still
dont know why it has stopped letting the workstations connect to the
server.


Dunno, but I don't tend to put a software firewall app between the DC and
workstation, myself.

The dhcp on the router is a bit of a problem as i dont have access to
the router and i cant really change anything because it also serves
our database server.(not sure if i can run dhcp on the server without
it affecting anything else)


Yes - and your database server shouldn't be receiving anything via DHCP
anyway, as it's a server. You should find out who can get access to the
router & kill DHCP there.

Removed the secondary ip address from the workstaion.


Good.


Thanks
