[Samba] Windows machines (WINXP, WIN2K) can/will not join domain

[Chartier, Prescott W CIV NUWC NWPT]

Ah .. I should have picked up on that ... Duh!!

In any event, I get the following when I run the dig command like this: ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain @ournameserver 

<<>> DiG 9.3.4 - P1 <<>> ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain @ournameserver
(1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd 
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I get the following if I run the command like this: ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain @ournameserver.simpledomain

<<>> DiG 9.3.4 - P1 <<>> ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain @ournameserver.simpledomain
;; global options: printcmd 
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached



Just so you know, I am NOT a unix/linux type, I was called it to make sure there was nothing on the Windows side causing this problem, there isn't.

hi,

ok my fault.  replace ns and simpledomain with your real datas

ns means nameserver
can you ping simpledomain (if this your real domain)?
