Re: newbie: problems adding winxp to win2k3 server domain

Did you setup your DNS on the Server?
Are both machines pointing to this DNS?
Can you ping by address?
Can you ping by name?

Hey

I've got 2 computers, one computer with winxp pro and the other computer
has Windows Server 2003

I used to have these computers in a workgroup, but because I want to learn
how to configure Sharepoint. I then decided to create a domain and set my
windows server 2003 to be domain controller....

from the windows server computer I can ping the winxp computer. But my
PROBLEM is that I cannot ping the other way (on the winxp computer I
cannot ping the windows server)

I haven't done any modifications to Lmhosts on the winxp computer

My winXP computer has the firewall that came with sp2 enabled. But while I
only had a workgroup this firewall wasn't any problem... While using
workgroup I could from my winXP computer go into "My Network Places" and
find my workgroup and both computers in it...

I know that I must add my winXP to the domain controlled by the windows
server but before I do that I think I must solve this ping problem...

Any ideas to what I must do to solve this would be greatly appreaciated!
