Re: Internet connetivity over LAN problem

Hi Lanwench,

As you said I am trying to run my w2k as AD(XXX.com).
I ran the AD by Giving an Ip address:10.10.X.X
Preferred DNS Server:Same as the above.
Alternate DNS Server:ISp's DNS Server.
I successfully ran the A.D
Then I installed DNS server from Add/remove programs.
Installed DHCP Server with a new scope :10.10.X.1 -10.10.x.100 with
excusion from 10.10.X.1 -10.10.x.10 for future static addresses.

My real problem started when I tried to make one of my w2k3 system as a
member server into the w2k -AD Domain(which is running SP4).
I am getting a message that"Domain controller XXX.com could not be contacted
"Ensure that domain name spelled correctly.
I do believe that is something related to my SRV record,I checked my srv
record by running the command _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.xxx.com.it is showing the
records.

I am trying to add this member server(Comp1)to this domain.Because my DHCP
is running I hope that my server(Comp1) will definitely get an Ip
address.Taking that into consideration i did not add any A host record for
the Comp1 computer.So could you please tell me how can I solve this problem
and to connect my member server to access the internet?
Thanks in advance
mill
