We have a Windows 2000 domain with 2 domain controllers (let’s call them serverA and serverB). We recently needed to activate a 2nd NIC with a different subnet on serverB to access our VPN appliance properly.
Now when we try to browse through network neighborhood from serverB to serverA we receive the following error message:
Logon failure: The target account name is incorrect
Pinging serverA from serverB is successful and mapping a network drive to serverA from serverB using serverA’s IP address works. It is when trying to access serverA using it’s hostname that doesn’t work.
I suspect that when serverB to trying access serverA with the serverA hostname, DNS on serverA is rejecting the request because it is somehow picking up the IP address from the 2nd NIC and not the local IP address. Therefor DNS doesn’t find the match it is expecting and fails.
Any insights/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You
