Re: Getting Terminal Services to work

I know you said workgroup but the problem sounds like an Active Directory problem. Are you using Active Directory? If you are you have a DNS problem. In an AD domain all of the workstations need to be using an AD DNS server and no other DNS servers. It sounds like you are using your ISP DNS servers or your router. This will allow XP to sort of work with Active Directory but Vista will fail miserably. If you have an AD domain please post the results of IPCONFIG /all from a domain controller and a workstation.

If you're not using AD can you describe the network in a little more detail? What supplies DHCP services? What OS are the Terminal Servers running? Do you have a WINS server? Do you have a DNS server?

How can I tell if I am using Active Directory?
here is ipconfig /all from the Vista
