Re: domain problem.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for all the help Lanwench

Which firewall would you recommend?
The windows firewall has served me well until this weekend and still dont
know why it has stopped letting the workstations connect to the server.

The dhcp on the router is a bit of a problem as i dont have access to the
router and i cant really change anything because it also serves our database
server.(not sure if i can run dhcp on the server without it affecting
anything else)

Removed the secondary ip address from the workstaion.

Thanks
Gareth

You shouldn't have your router doing DHCP - it works better if you use your
server for that.

192.168.0.1

Also, remove the 2nd DNS server here.

The second IP address listed as a dns server was a test to see if i
can access the internet which worked.

The forwarders on the DNS server itself should be taking care of that,
though.
