Unable to add a win-xp (sp-2) client machine to the domain (i.e. win-2003)

May 17, 2008

I am getting an error message "NETWORK PATH NOT FOUND "when I am trying

to add a win-xp (sp-2) client machine to the domain (i.e. win-2003).

Here is my network setup

ISP---->ADSL/Modem---->Router---->Switch----->DNS Servers/SAP-Server &

Client Machines

DNS Server IP-Address (192.168.10.2)

Default Gateway (192.168.10.6)

Pref DNS (192.168.10.2)

Alt DNS (192.168.10.6)

CLIENT Machines

The ip-address range as-per our DNS is (192.168.10.1 -to-

192.168.10.151)

The Default Gateway of the client Machine is (192.168.10.6)

Preffered DNS (192.168.10.2)

Alternate DNS(192.168.10.6)

Here is the scenario which I am facing :- the client machines are able

to access Internet,they are also able to access the SAP Applications

from the SAP-Server and do the programming stuffs & Users are able to

login into their Network Login Area(i.e Roaming Profile) on any of the

client machines which was created on DNS-Server ,but client machines

are not able to ping the DNS-Server and they are not able to ping the

SAP-Server.

From the Client Machines we are able to do Remote Desktop Logon on

SAP-Server (192.168.10.7),but we are unable to ping it and also the

DNS(192.168.10.2).

And I am unable to add any new client in the DNS,I am getting error

message "Network Path Not Found"

WINS is enabled on the DNS

File and Printer Sharing is enabled

nslookup is giving me error- "Default Server Unknown"

Please Help Me........

Regards,

Kumar

Since you're talking about WinXP PCs in a Win2003 domain, you're

likely to get more answers if you post your question in a WinXP and

Windows Server newsgroup. Best to use cross-posting!

Hello klsingh,

I assume the x.x.x.6 DG and DNS is your intenet router, remove the address

from the clients and server and use only the domain dns server. Also check

that no firewalls are enabled.

Best regards
