Background ? I had a domain during my test setup with I have decided to reinstall windows server over the top and start again as I was not happy with some of it.
– Both machines have windows firewall disabled (router has firewall but this worked before)
– DHCP is not enabled on the server as the router takes care of this
– The computers are both wired to the router (the cables have not moved and the XP client was added to the domain before)
– Upnp is enabled on the router
– The server can pin the IP address of the workstation but not the host name
– The workstation can ping both the IP address and the host name
– Both machines can ping the servers IP
– Both machines can access the internet
I have a feeling this is a DNS issue?
Please please please provide some help if you have any ideas before I give up. Please also bare in mind im not the most tech savy and currently self teaching so don?t worry about sounding patronising.
[b]Thanks[/b] in advance, please ask if you need any more information.
