Hello Richard, Everyone!!!
Hope you all had a great XMAS and New Year celebrations. :-)
Update on my problem joining the 2003 Active Directory Domain from my
Windows XP Pro laptop.
1.
Following Richard Harper suggestions, I verified that DNS services is
enabled. I then follow step-by-step instructions in my Windows 2000 Server
book to create a Forwared and Reversed lookup zones. I also create a Local
Host for the Linksys Router address.
2.
On the laptop side, I inputted the DNS Server IP address into the laptop's
LAN TCP/IP properties.
3.
I also performed command IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
After doing the above three steps, I was able to login to the domain ok and
TCP/IP assignments are normal as expected.
Thanks again for all your help Richard!!!
