Guest Jeff Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 (This post is originally posted at microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, but there I got an respond asking me to post it in a win2k3 ng) Hey I got 2 computers a home. pcA uses winXPpro+sp2, pcB uses win2k3 These 2 computers are connected to each other via a router. I've created a Active Directory on the win2k3 computer, and now I wants the winXP box to join the AD. Both computers are using static IP Both compueters have set up a LMHOSTS file: 192.168.1.30 "HOMEAD \0x1b" #PRE 192.168.1.30 PCB #PRE #DOM:HOMEAD 192.168.1.20 PCA In "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" on the winXP machine, default NetBIOS setting is selected... should I use "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" instead ?? When I run nbtstat -c from the winXP machine I get this... I think it's a bit strage that the 3 last lines shows HOMEAD with 2 dots (..) at the end Local Area Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.20] Scope Id: [] NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table Name Type Host Address Life [sec] ------------------------------------------------------------ HOMEAD <1C> GROUP 192.168.1.30 -1 PCB <03> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 PCB <00> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 PCB <20> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 HOMEAD.. <03> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 HOMEAD.. <00> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 HOMEAD.. <20> UNIQUE 192.168.1.30 -1 Here I run nbtstat from the winXP machine against the win2k3 machine: nbtstat -a PCB Local Area Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.20] Scope Id: [] Host not found. When I try to add the winXP box to the domain, I get this message: "The domain name HOMEAD might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS." Please, what should I do to solve this problem?

Hello, remove the lmhost stuff maje your winxp to use the pcB as primary DNS in the network configuration check both clock are in sync (< 5 mn) join the domain with the FQDN like mydomain.com -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Jeff" <it_consultant1@hotmail.com.NOSPAM> wrote in message news:etfmOlG%23HHA.3716@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > (This post is originally posted at microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, but > there I got an respond asking me to post it in a win2k3 ng) > > Hey > > I got 2 computers a home. pcA uses winXPpro+sp2, pcB uses win2k3 > > These 2 computers are connected to each other via a router. > > I've created a Active Directory on the win2k3 computer, and now I wants > the > winXP box to join the AD. > > Both computers are using static IP > > Both compueters have set up a LMHOSTS file: > 192.168.1.30 "HOMEAD \0x1b" #PRE > 192.168.1.30 PCB #PRE #DOM:HOMEAD > 192.168.1.20 PCA > > In "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" on the winXP machine, default NetBIOS > setting > is selected... should I use "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" instead ?? > > When I run nbtstat -c from the winXP machine I get this...

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Re: networking problem! Hello Jeff, During the promotion you have to setup DNS, check that it is active directory integrated. For the XP machine just give it a fixed ip config like this and NO config in the lmhosts file: XP ip 192.168.1.20 sm 255.255.255.0 dg router ip DNS 192.168.1.30 2003 ip 192.168.1.30 sm 255.255.255.0 dg router ip DNS 192.168.1.30 Then the joining shouldn't be any problem.

Guest Jeff Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Re: networking problem! Thanks for that quick reply :) Right now it is configured like this on the XP: ip 192.168.1.20 sm 255.255.255.0 dg router ip DNS router ip both default gateway and DNS using the same ip address, the ip address of the router I've tryed to set DNS to 192.168.1.30, but then I loose internet connection on XP computer any suggestions ????
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Re: networking problem! I guess the dns on the server isn't setup correctly or not running. -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Jeff" <it_consultant1@hotmail.com.NOSPAM> wrote in message news:OyhWrEH%23HHA.2752@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Thanks for that quick reply :) > > Right now it is configured like this on the XP: > ip 192.168.1.20 > sm 255.255.255.0 > dg router ip > DNS router ip > > both default gateway and DNS using the same ip address, the ip address of > the router > > I've tryed to set DNS to 192.168.1.30, but then I loose internet > connection on XP computer > > any suggestions ???? > >
Guest Dave Patrick Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Re: networking problem! Set XP DNS settings to look at your DNS server. Set your DNS server forwarders to ISP DNS servers. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Jeff Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Re: networking problem! What can I say? Well, I'll try to say thank you. Thank you for those great tips. The problem is solved. Configring a forwarder on the DNS, and setting XP to use my win2k3 machine as DNS server solved my problem.... This is just a home network I've set up at home. The reason I set it up is that I want to learn about configuration of windows networks.. I'm happy now because not only is the problem with my home network solved, I've also learned from all those problems I had trying to configure it... cheers jeff
