I have a new Windows 2003 Business Server. Everything seems to work, can get
to the web do updates, etc.
However none of the workstations can join the Domain, I have the DNS on the
work stations pointing to the new server. The workstations cannot ping the
server. However the Server CAN ping the work stations. What am I missing?

Hello Terry,

What OS are the workstations? Are firewalls on the workstations enabled?

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

How are you pinging? by name? by address? Try setting the IP address and DNS
address manually and joining.
