If I understand your post, put a static IP on the work station to see
if we can ping. I'll try that. I don't understand the "Computername
and FQDN" statement. Both machines and router are on the same Subnet.

Hello dave,

If the client get a fixed ip you can ping the server without any
problem by ip address, computername and FQDN?

Are both machines on the same subnet or is there a router between
them?

Hello dave,

Is the DHCP server authoriyed in AD and is the scope on the DHCP
server activated?
Rightclick the servername in the DHCP management console and choose
autorize
and on the scope rightclick and choose Activate.

Sorry if my original post wasn't clear. The DC does have a fixed
IP. It's the desktop that I joined to the domain that won't pull a
local IP. If it matters, the desktop was recently upgraded to
Vista Ultimate from Vista Home Basic.

Thanks for the quick response.

Hello dave,

Servers especially Domain controllers should always have fixed ip
addresses and not DHCP. Give it a fixed ip address instead.

NEWBIE ALERT
Yes I'm new at this. I just setup a 2008 server running AD. I
just
joined my first machine to the domain that was originally
pulling
an
IP from the router. It joined successfully. After rebooting
though
it won't pull an IP from the server's DHCP. What might cause
this?
I'm guessing something on the server, just not sure where to
start.
Thanks for your help.- Hide quoted text -
