I have 2 PC's set up in an AD Domain, the server is
windows 2000 advance server the other is Windows XP
Professional. If i try to browse to either of these
machines via My Network Places this happens.
My server can see my xp machine but is unable to access
it the error say's " The network path was not found"
My XP machine gets as far as seeing the domain then when
i try to get inside it comes up with the following:
"Domain is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource.Contact the Administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions."
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available.
Ther is probably a very simple solution to this but could
Somebody please help this is driving me mad!!!!

Cheers
Paul

Click to expand...

Do you have DNS installed?
Is DNS configured for Dynamic updates?
Is the PC and Server using the same IP subnet and mask?
Can you PING each other?
Has the PC be 'joined' to the domain?
Did it create a valid computer account in the Domain?
