Problem in acessing the network

Hi ,
I am having windows 2003 enterprises server, i have
reinstalled the server due to some problem.
and all my client machine is Windows XP professional
now i cant able to acess the network shared devices and
drives from my machine as well server.
it gives the following error message.
"There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request".

This happen in some and some machine this does not happens.
can anyone tell me the reason behind this.
My Domain is working fine.

Rgds,
Venkat

Can you do an "ipconfig /all" command on your domain controllers, any member
servers that exhibit the behaviour and an affected client machine and post
the results back here?

It sounds to me like you're having an issue with your DNS configuration.

Thanks

Oli

Sorry to jump in. I also had a similar problem, with member server
giving
"No Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for
domain NJJLI. The following error occurred:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request. "

I will be grateful for your help.

The Masks don't match on the machines for the LAN side of the network.
don't know what else it might be at this point.

Hi

You're normally better off starting a new thread for a new problem.

However, I can spot several anomalies and bad things.

1) As Phillip points out, your subnet masks don't match; 255.255.0.0 on the
DC and 255.255.255.0 on the LAN interface for the member server.

2) The member server has no default gateway on the LAN interface (not
necessarily a problem, e.g. if you're on a single subnet)

3) The primary DNS suffix is missing from the member server.

4) The member server has no WINS entry (not necessarily a problem, but
unusual since you have WINS on the DC).

5) IP Routing is enabled on the DC. Are you sure you want to do that?

6) IP Routing is enabled on the member server. I really hope you have a
Cable/DSL router at a minimum between that second NIC and the Internet.

Hope this helps

Oli

I saw that too, but is has to be that way. It has two NICs and is acting as
the "NAT firewall" between the private system and the Internet. Only one
Default Gateway is allowed and it must be on the NIC facing the ISP (no
choice about that). If there are multiple private subnets then it has to be
handled by static Routes.

It is required for Routing to be enabled for NAT to function. Reasonable
security can be had with this machine providing the Internet Connection if
the machine is configured properly and has only what is required running on
it, various LAN service unbound from the external NIC, etc.

Good eye! I didn't see that one. I'd say it should be disabled. It's kinda
useless with only one NIC anyway and multi-homed DC's are "frowned upon".
That probably isn't the cause, but I think it should be disabled to make
sure.

We may have to wait and see what it does after the mask is straightened out.
Also, I have heard of cases where those gigabit Nics get kinda "stupid".

You both are extremely helpful however informing Faisal to not piggy-back a
thread and then proceeding to ignore your own suggestion sends a mixed
message. Jes' sayin'...

Good point. I got so carried away with myself I fogot about the first guy.

Thanks for that, Phillip. I thought it was one default gateway per NIC, but
you are correct.

Yeah, you're probably right.
