Is it DNS issue?

[Guest]

One of my XP Pro client, part ot Win2K domain, getting its IP from DHCP
server. DNS is pointing to the private IP of Win2K server (also DNS server
and has forwarder setup). From this XP client, I can go online (which means
outside DNS is working), but I cannot ping local servers by name, so unable
to connect to my E2K server. I have check hosts and lmhosts files, there are
no entries.
TIA

DNS fails: restart windows, after you go to start/run, and type CMD, then at that prompt type: IPCONFIG /flushDNS and then :
IPCONFIG /registerDNS

Check the firewall settings on the XP client. Also check in AD that the
computer is joined to the domain.
