Hi guys,
we have a user with xp prof laptop, and he is trying to connect to
the domain (pdc server 2003). when he types on run: the domain name and
enters...pathname not found error comes up. I did a nslookup on his laptop,
the dns entry looks fine and working. I tried with Ip address as well run:
and entered the ip of the server ...samething pathname not found. I am able
to ping the server, not a problem there. I turned off his windows firewall,
and checked to see if server serviecs are working and it's. I tried with an
administrator domain account and logged in to his laptop, but still i wasn't
able to connect to the domain and gave me the same error...pathname not found.
windows is fully updated.
Any suggestion would greatly help
thanks
Are you using DNS, or NetBIOS name resolution? If the former, is DNS setup
properly on the domain, and is the laptop setup as a DNS client? If the latter,
is NetBT configured consistently? Are firewalls setup properly?
