If there is a domain controller on your network named DC1 with IPaddress 192.168.1.1, and you issue a ping DC1 command withzero returned packets, what might you try next? If a ping to 192.168.1.1 was successful, what would you suspect is the problem?

I would suspect that ICMP echo was not allowed in the firewall on the server.Bill

I agree with the above two answers, another two answers would be that there is a DNS problem. Whether it's a global DNSissue (eg a problem with DNS settings on the DNS server) or a local DNS/Wins problem (eg DC1 in the hosts file is mapped to a different IP address. Oron the local network card of the PC you're at, there is no DNS server specified or an incorrect DNS server specified).-Ken | http://ken.wagnerfamily.co.uk

Hi ManiMin2,KitkatNinja is correct, please also check your DNS server setting.1.Do you have a DNS service on the DC? If so, does it have the Directory-integrated Zone?2.Does your client point its DNS server settingto internal DNS server?Best Regards,Wilson JiaThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
