I am assisting someone install a new 2003 server (I am working remotely 2000 miles away).
I believe the problems point to DNS but I'm not sure.
The problems are:
1). Clients will not receive an address from the server's DHCP. I have to
enable DHCP at the router for clients.
2). When attempting to login to the domain from a client station that has
joined the domain, it takes 5 minutes to login.
3). The DNS at the server doesn't update with client info (all client PC's
are XP Pro).
The DHCP currently provided by the router point DNS to the AD server.
Everyone is able to access the internet properly and I can ping stations by
name or IP.
DNS was installed (and reinstalled) with the default settings except for the
addition of a DNS forwarder (to the ISP DNS).
