I've searched all of Microsoft and cannot find an answer.
My network was entirely a windows 2000 pro nework. I've
recently purchased several XP Pro PC's.
I cannot add the XP pro SP 1 PC's to my domain. Every time
I try to add one of the XP machines, I get the following
message, "A domain controller for the domain <domain name>
could not be contacted". But the PC is being assigned the
an IP address and the gateway from the server. The only
way I can get to shared resources is by mapping a drive
using the IP address of the server and the shared name.
The PC gets to the internet fine. I ran ipconfig /all from
a command prompt on the XP machine and the results were
all correct except for the Primary Dns Suffix is blank.
One final note, I cannot browse the network either. If
anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thank you.
