Re: W2k3 server and DNS

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello Ace,
I have checked all the services on the DC and they are running.

I had said that I can ping from the DC to the workstations.
However I can not ping the Server from the XP machines.

I really appreciate all your efforts but I'm going to reformat the server
and start from scratch again.
There is nothing on the server that I can't put back.
I down to crunch time now so need something quick.

Again thanks to all of you very much.
