Cannot Connect Windows 2000 or XP to 2003 Server in subnet

I have recenty begun updagrading from Windows NT 4 to
Windows 2003 Standard Server. I am currently running with
both 2003 and NT servers. All Windows 98 PCs find the
servers and logon with no problem on all 3 subnets.
However, XP and 2000 PCs will only find the servers and
logon if they are on the same subnet as the servers. I
have Netbios over TCP/IP configured on these PCs. I have
tried to configure them for workgroup access to clear any
logon cache and then configure them back to join the
domain. Nothing has worked. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks

Jim

Are you trying to set up a single-label domain?? (eg. MYDOMAIN)

Yes. I have other W2K and XP machines that are connecting
without any trouble, but they are on the same subnet as
the server.

I had the same problem. You should read this article
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;300684

after w2k sp4 single label domains are not recommended.

Solution: I created the new domain as MYDOMAIN.LOCAL which solved the
problem.
This should help.
