Hi, Is it a DHCP client, or does it have a static address? Can you run nslookup, this would show you if you can connect to a DNS server? Have you tried using an lmhosts file to point out the 'PDC'? This has often worked for me both for NT4 and AD domains.

We have rebuilt it from tapes fine, but cannot re-add it to the domain. We get the "cannot find domain xxx" error. We cannot ping in/out by name, but can by ip. DNS seems to be set up as all our other servers. We've tried another NIC. Same effect. Windows 2K SP4. any timely ideas? Doug Stelley Network Admin.
