I have 6 workstations connected to the domain. Just connected and they could
see the domain under Entire Networks.

Connected a laptop with WinXP to the same cables and cannot see the domain.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Hello shank,

The DC must use itself as DNS server and not the default gateway. Active
directory is based on DNS. If this is not optimal configured lot's of things
will go wrong. The default gateway should not do anything in the domain,
except the internet access.

So reconfigure the DC according to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380

Additional see here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825036

DC should look like:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.5
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.5

Your client machine is total different form the DC's subnet, it will not
connect with the DC if they are on the same physical network:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.107
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.50
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.50
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 65.32.1.65
65.32.1.70

To work with the server it should be something like:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.xxx
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.5
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.5

The laptop is getting the ISP's DNS server IP addresses. It won't be able to
access domain resources. I am surprised your other machines are not
exhibiting problems due to this. It should be changed in the DHCP scope
properties, which appears to be your router.

About the router's DHCP, I recommend setting up and using your domain
controller's DHCP service and disabling the service on the router. The
Windows DHCP service supports DNS registratrion securely, more configurable
options, etc.

Also, browsing the network, it could also be something as simple as the XP
firewall or a security software installed on it that is blocking browsing
capabilities. But as far as DHCP, I believe you should change it over to
have more finite control over your network.

Server DNS and WINS are changed. Thanks!

Back to the laptop. It's connected to the CAT5 cables as the rest of our
network. It was set to pickup connection automatically. Why is not picking
up our network IP address? I did an ipconfig release and renew. Same
difference. In short, why, if it's set to auto, it refuses to pick up the
inhouse network?
thanks!

Hello shank,

How many DHCP servers do you run? Seems there is another DHCP server running.
On the client run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /flushdns and then again
ipconfig /renew. If that doesn't help, give it a fixed ip address and then
go back to DHCP and see if it helps.

Best regards

Hello shank,

Why is "IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes" and "WINS Proxy Enabled.

I did not do the /flushdns yet. I only get intermittent moments where I can
try things. I did another IPconfig for the server, the laptop and the user's
workstation sitting a foot away. When I hard-coded the laptop, I couldn't
see the domain or access the internet. The workstation is on auto.

re: More than one DHCP. When I view DHCP in the control panel, there's only
the one.

I there something obvious I didn't set correctly on the laptop?

Frustrating. I have a DELL Vostro 1500. I used regedit. I shut off WINS and
did ipconfig. It was off. I found IPEnableRouter and it was already 0. I
rebooted and they both were on again. DELL chat support couldn't help. Have
to find an answer how to shut them off.
thanks
