Hi, I have a machine running XP Pro, SP2 that i am trying to connect to a remote Windows Server 2003 (SP1).
Details:
I set up the client’s DSn to point to the server’s IP address.
The server is a domain controller (the only DC)
I can ping the server’s IP from the client
I can ping the client’s IP from the server
In the past I was able to connect to the same domain from a different machine (as a test) and it worked fine. So seems like the server setting is not an issue, most likely it’s how the client XP is configured.
How I attempt to do it:
Classic way – Computer Properties, join a domain, type the domain name. The domain name is set to abcd.local — I typed it both ways on the client machine (abcd and abcd.local – neither worked).
Not sure what other details are needed…
Thank you so much for your help!
