Alan,
To state the obvious, you are having connectivity issues. What they may be
contributed to can range from DNS, NetBIOS, MasterBrowser to network related
issues. I would start with DNS. Run DNS diagnostics to ensure that your DC
is registering all addresses (netdiag /test:dns) and you may also want to go
through these steps:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/sag_dns_tro_clientsnode.asp
Additionally, parse the event logs to see if they offer any more help.
Based on your dcdiag output, replication is suffering, so I would also
perform some checks using repadmin (
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/Default.asp?url=/Resources/Documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techref/en-us/repadmin_syntax.asp
). Use NLTEST to test your masterbrowser (nltest /dclist:[domain name].
If there is still nothing, move on to physical connectivity, using IP config
and nbtstat
(http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/nbtstat.asp ).
Post back with additional information.
