Re: Can't browse domain...

That did indeed work, for the domain controller, it can now browse the
network :o)

However all the other machines on the domain including the other servers
still cannot browse, they get a new error message. They are all however
resolving the DC and domain to the correct IP address!

New message:

<Domain> is not accessible. You might not have permission to access this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.

Windows cannot find the network path. Verify the network path is correct
and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If windows still
cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator.

When I try to browse my domain from any machine on the network I get:

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

After doing a little poking around I can see that in WINS is listing
the domain master for my domain as being the IP of the RRAS server,
not the IP of the DC itself (the RRAS service is running on my DC).
The workstation record also points to the RRAS IP and I can't seem to
get it to rectify.

Would this be causing the browsing error?

I have 3 other servers on the network, and Exchange 2003 on Server
2003 R2, SQL 2005 on R2, and BES on R2. The DC itself is not R2 but
has SP2.

Computer's on the network can be resolved without any problems, so
mapping drives etc with the computer names is ok, its just browsing
that is being affected.

Any help is always appreciated!
