Guest Jeff Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Hey I have 2 computers in my home network: pc1 has winXPpro+sp2 and pc2 has win2k3 the win2k3 machine is the domain controller in this domain, DNS automatically configured when creating Active Directory From the winXP machine I'm having problems connecting to shared folders on the win2k3 machine. Today I installed Wireshark on the win2k3 machine so I could sniff on the network trafic coming to the win2k3 machine. To my surprise the win2k3 machine received these network requests (among many other requests): (SMB_NETL) SAM Active Directory Resonse - user unknown (DNS) Standard query response, no such name (The request above came from when the winXP machine was trying to connect a shared folder on the win2k3 machine) Can this mean that the problem is in the DNS / Active Directory? Any suggestions how to solve this? Jeff
Guest Danny Sanders Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: SAM Active Directory Response - user unknown Did you join the computer to the domain? Did you create a user on the Server? If so are you logging into the XP machine as that user? Does that user have permission to access the shared folder? hth DDS "Jeff" <it_consultant1@hotmail.com.NOSPAM> wrote in message news:ucUi2f7%23HHA.700@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hey > > I have 2 computers in my home network: pc1 has winXPpro+sp2 and pc2 has > win2k3 > > the win2k3 machine is the domain controller in this domain, DNS > automatically configured when creating Active Directory > > From the winXP machine I'm having problems connecting to shared folders on > the win2k3 machine.

Guest Jeff Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Re: SAM Active Directory Response - user unknown Yes, the winXP machine is a member of the domain. When trying to access the shared folder (shared folder on the win2k3 machine) from the winXP machine I was logged in as a domain user. And yes, this domain user has permissions to access this shared folder... But I cannot access the folder.... I'm not sure what the problem is. Both win2k3 machine and winXP machine runs with Windows Firewall enabled. If I turn off the firewalls then the domain user can connect to the shared folder. Any suggestions? Jeff
