networking problem!

[Guest Jeff]

(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

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.

 

Best regards

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]

Re: networking problem!

 

I guess the dns on the server isn't setup correctly or not running.

Set XP DNS settings to look at your DNS server. Set your DNS server

forwarders to ISP DNS servers.

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
