Joining a Win 2K Server domain
I have a new Vista Business computer that I am trying to join to a domain.
The PDC is Win 2K. By no means am I a network guy; just know enough to get my XP computers connected. Even with the firewall turned off, I get this message: "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined failed" Not sure what that means! To make sure all is working fine, I reconnected a XP computer with no problems. With XP I always need to establish that a computer is Trusted, but I do not see that anywhere with XP. Many thanks... Todd

Joining a Win 2K Server domain
Sounds like DNS issue. How do you setup your DNS?

Joining a Win 2K Server domain
Since my server has been running untouched for several years, I am not sure
what settings I should check. Todd Cary Ariste Software "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Sounds like DNS issue. How do you setup your DNS?

Joining a Win 2K Server domain
from any machine on your lan open a cmd prompt, type NET VIEW
determine which computer is your 2kserver type PING [servername] it should tell you the IP address of your server go back to your vista machine open the properties of your network connection open ipv4 and plug in that IP address in the Primary DNS server space then you can join the domain "rtcary" wrote: Since my server has been running untouched for several years, I am not sure what settings I should check.

Many thanks for helping find the mistake (and I knew better): I had the external DNS rather than the local PDC.

Joining a Win 2K Server domain
Dave -
I have a question that is probably related: how to see the computers on the network. When I go to Start | Network I only see my router (gateway) and the computer I on. I was able to map a drive on a computer on the network, however in XP in the Network neighborhood I can see all of the computers. Todd P.S. If this should be a new thread, please let me know.
