Re: Error Message About Domain Controller

We need a lot more information on this one. Is this all your client
computers, or a specific one? Are you confident that there's a physical
connection to the SBS? Can you ping the SBS from the workstation? The
simplest explanation would be an unplugged network cable or the power cord
pulled out of the network switch.

Are there any errors showing up in the System or Application logs, either on
the SBS or the client PC? On the SBS, are all services running that should
be?

Is this a new installation where you were never able to connect, or is it
something that just came up in a previously functioning network? Have you
run the CEICW and done everything on the to-do list? Joined the client PC
to the domain with \connectcomputer? Is the client PC getting an IP address
from DHCP? Are all the clients and the server pointing to the server's
internal IP address for DNS?

Is this SBS Standard or Premium? If Premium, is ISA 2004 installed, and is
it running normally?
