nixdy

Hi guys, I am hoping some of you may be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction. I have a small company that I run from home. I have a windows NT Server v4.0 running as a PDC. Most of the P.C's that I have used in the past have been NT 2000. They have logged onto the PDC without a problem. However my new XP Pro P.C will not log onto the server. Is this a campatability problem? Please advise. Kind Regards

Hi Clutch, I'm using Static I.P's across the full LAN. As I have a mixture of NT, XP and Linux.

The only error I'm getting is a trust relationship between the Domain controller and the workstation can not be made. If I log onto the XP machine as normal and then join the domain that works fine. But as soon as I log off again and try lohgin back onto the domain I just get the same errors as before.

Hi Tried that still the same errors. I have tried re-booting bothe the PDC and the XP machines but no joy

I'm also getting a trust relationship between the Domain controller and the workstation can not be made.

Hi Guys, Sorry to be a pain!! I delleted the system account from the PDC. Went back to the XP Client box and choose to be a member of a new domain and entered the domain name. Great a UserID and Password Box appeared I entered the userid and password of a user on the PDC, Great I got a Welcome to the nixdy domain. Clicked o.k and restarted my client XP box. While the box was reboooting I went back to the PDC and sure thing the XP box had re-appeared in the Server Manager. Back at the XP box entered userid and password. Selected the nixdy domain. Paused for a bout 2 minuted then I got the following message. The System could not log you on because the domain is unavailable. Selected o.k and tried again. I then got the following message:- Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear please contact your sys admin. I can still connect to the PDC through the NT machines so it's not down. any thoughts ideas. Am I doing something wrong. help much appreciated.

Thanks Guys I will try this later this afternoon. Great stuff.
