We have Windows 2000 Server Domain and all our machines were running Windows 2000 and windows xp professional workstation. I joined them to the domain, no problem.
For one, I've found that I sometimes am unable to browse the 2K and xp machines from the XP machines. When I first log in, it's fine. But then after some time when I try to browse to a 2K machine, it hangs for a minute and eventually errors out. I have to reboot the machine before I can get access again or when i removed IP & DNS it's working fine.
We also have a VPN to another network that has some XP machines in a workgroup. I can access these machines with no problems from our 2K machines no matter who I log in as. The XP machines won't connect unless I log in with a username/password that also exists on the target machine. Even with the same username/password, I sometimes lose connection and have to reboot before I can access the machine again.
I've searched all over the Internet for anything about these issues. but I am not find any solution. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!
