I am teaching myself the ins and out of Microsoft networking with a mini
network at home. I have a PC running 2000 Server and two clients (laptop
and desktop running XP Pro). This whole network is all behind a DSL wireless
router. I was able to join the laptop to the domain, but could not get the
desktop to do the same. I get the following message:

A domain controller for the domain davejacoby.com could not be contacted.

Under the details:

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location
(SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
davejacoby.com:

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.davejacoby.com

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child
zone:

davejacoby.com
com
.. (the root zone)

Any ideas?

Hi,

Where is this machine pointed to for primary DNS? It should point to
the DNS server that is authoritative for your domain (davejacoby.com)
as this is where it gets the information to contact a domain
controller in your domain.
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.davejacoby.com

If this still failes, verify the SMB signings incase someone changed
them.

Good luck
