Message: [QUOTE="Scott Johnson, post: 9724235"] I'm not very knowledgeable about Active Directory, so I appeal to the collective wisdom of this group. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to join my company's (Win2k) domain across a router-based site-to-site VPN. The home PC is running Windows XP Pro. The home network is running on a separate IP subnet. This is the error I get when attempting to join the domain: "The domain name XYZ might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS. If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration. DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain XYZ: The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.XYZ The following domain controllers were identified by the query: xyz-test.xyz xyz-2k. Common causes of this error include: - Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses. - Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running." The remote workstation is able to resolve names using the domain DNS server on the 192.168.4 network without problem. I can also access file shares on the 192.168.4 network without problem. Do I need to add some configuration to the domain controller to allow separate networks? The IP setup is as follows: Company Network IP : 192.168.4.0 subnet : 255.255.255.0 Remote Network: IP : 10.4.1.0 subnet: 255.255.255.0 Thanks in advance, Scott Johnson Difficulty joining domain across site to site VPN [/QUOTE]
