Hello, I've created new domain and testing it right now one of the XP boxes in the office. The issue I'm having is I'm unable to join the domain using FQDN, but I can join it using NETBIOS name. I can ping server by name and IP address, but not by servername.domain.com. When I run NSLOOKUP both devices, PC and server, see each other, though, again using NETBIOS name as an opposed to domain name. While driving back I thought that when I was joining the domain I used domainname.com without omitting .com part and when that didn't work I used NETBIOS name. So, it dawn on me that it was the issue. At the same time I joined the domain using NETBIOS name and in the end it belong to domainname.com, but again when I log on the domain listed in the login screen is the NETBIOS name not domainname.com. I still can't ping it and it's the LAN of the house. Any direction is greatly appreciated

Hello, let's start with an unedited ipconfig /all from the DC/DNS server and a Windows XP client.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
