Make sure the DC points to a valid DNS server that contains all the AD = Domain Information ...=20 -----Original Message----- From: Scott Ehrlich [mailto:scott@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 11:49 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Win2K > DC =3D 10.0.0.0? Hello to all: Through countless Domain Controller tests, building up DCs, tearing them = down, reformatting, rebuilding, etc, all from new MSDN media, 99% of the = time when Server becomes DC the IP address changes from the registered = IP,=20 to, upon reboot into AD, a 10.x.y.x number which causes the OS to hang=20 waiting with "Preparing network connections..." just before the login = prompt. How do I avoid this? Thanks.
