Hello .. I am having a problem with users trying to log on
my domain. Everyone here is networked and at random,
users will not be able to log on there workstations. The
message says that the domain is not found.
Can someone give me a clue???
It just seems like the network connection gets
disconnected when a user logs on.
Thanks in Advance,
Stacey
 
What client OS?

This can occur due to DNS misconfiguration. All servers and workstations
should specify *only* the internal AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in
their network settings. The AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with
forwarders to your ISP's DNS servers for external resolution. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300202 for more
info.

So are you using WINS? I'd install DNS and set it up to lookup to WINS, then
specify the internal DNS server IP first (as well as your ISP's DNS IP) on
all the clients...
 
Noooooo, Lanwench, no ISP-DNS-numbers should be set on clients nor
servers-nics. Only the internal server-IP should be set as DNS. Those
ISP-DNS-numbers should be set in tab Forwarders of DNS-server.

Yes, but this is NT4, not AD....:-)

Still the same concerning DNS.

I'll admit I haven't used NT4 for a while, but I didn't think you could set
up DNS forwarders in there - will have to see if I can find someone with an
NT4 domain. When I supported them I always used the ISP's DNS server as the
secondary after the internal DNS server's IP.
Still the same concerning DNS.

Welp, I reckon you're right. Just googled and found
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winntas/deploy/prodspecs/dnswp2.mspx

I never had Win2k/XP clients on an NT domain, so using the ISP's DNS servers
didn't cause a problem (NT and 9x were using WINS for local resolution).
