Migrated from WINNT Server 4.0 to Windows 2000 Server. Got one domain controller running but can?t get 2nd domain controller to replicate.
I have a two domain controller LAN. Working DC is named MAINSRVR and the other is named BUSRVR. ADSL Internet connection is achieved through MAINSRVR containing 2 NICs (1 for ADSL side, 1 for LAN side). ADSL NIC = static IP xxx.x.x.2 and LAN NIC = static IP xxx.x.x.1.
Problem: BUSRVR Active Directory won?t replicate to MAINSRVR. Get error ?RPC server is unavailable.? I believe it?s a DNS problem.
When I ping MAINSRVR from BUSRVR by name, I time-out because the pinged IP address is xxx.x.x.2 (the ADSL NIC) instead of IP xxx.x.x.1 (the LAN NIC). I can successfully ping MAINSRVR via IP address xxx.x.x.1. Tried deleting IP xxx.x.x.2 from the DNS forward lookup zone on MAINSRVR, but DNS puts the address right back.
Help please.
