Windows SBS 2003 Networking Issues

[DoD2]

I am trying to connect several clients to a SBS 2003 domain. I have no
problem connecting Windows 2000 clients. These clients can browse most of the
shared resources on the network.
I am having problems with connecting Windows XP (Prof) client to the domain.
It looks like the connection was ok, but I can not browse the network
resources and the network can not access the local shares.
The network uses a router (2701HG-B from 2Wire) to connect the server and
clients, as well as to the internet....Help, anyone?

Hi - this would be better posted in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. And
when you post in there, include more info on *how* you're trying to do this.
In SBS, you must use its wizards. Don't try to do things the non-SBS way or
you'll end up with a huge mess. You need to create user accounts, computer
accounts, with the wizards, and join all computers to the domain using the
ConnectComputer script.

When you postin the other group and provide this detail, you might also
provide the output of an unedited ipconfig /all from the server & from one
of the problem workstations.

Good luck!
