Re: No Logon Server Available

Mike,

Thanks for the response.

I am unsure if you respond to your e-mail account listed here, but
will ask my question here as well.

Excuse my ignorance, but I am fairly new to active directory. I
believe I have disovered the name of the active directory dns server,
but it is a name server. The only place I can find to change dns on
local machine asks for an ip address...

If you could quickly explain, I would be indebted.

Thanks,

Jason
