Re: Urgent - please help

Hello Joe,

Did the router also provide the DNS server IP? Sounds that the DNS settings causing the problem.

Thanks for the quick response.

The IP for the DC is fixed. All workstations use DHCP. DHCP server is
the router. Not sure what the "DG" is.

All PC's connect to a switch, which connects to the router. Also the
DC has only one NIC, which connects to the switch. The ISP DSL modem
is connected directly to the router. Hope this is clear. To put it
another way, there are two connections to the router, one from the
switch, the other from the modem.

Hello Joe,

settings ok with the DG? How is the connection runnning, all over the
router or did you use a switch?

Customer has SBS 2003 with 7 workstations. After replacing the
router to which all workstations connect, workstations no longer log
in to the AD domain, and cannot join the AD domain. For DNS, I have
verified that all workstations and the DC point to the DC, which is
also a DNS server, for DNS resolution.

When I use netdom join to join an XP Pro workstation to the domain,
I get a "network path not found" message. When I look at Network
Neighbourhood, the domain is there but if I try to open it, it tells
me (I can't remember the exact wording) that the either the domain
cannot be found or I do not have permission.

I can ping the DC from the XP workstation, and I can ping the
workstation from the DC.

Customer has been down for 2 days. Please help.
