[dba-Tech] Laptop on home network

Easy...

Turn of the firewall(s) on your laptop.
That is blcoking your regular LAN communications.

Firewalls are not intended to be used inside a local Area Network.
They do what they are supose to do, block acces to domains, disks, pings
etc....

Subject: [dba-Tech] Laptop on home network

I am having problems getting my laptop to connect to my new home/office
network.  I have a server that is acting as the domain controller and
using active directory, running Win2K Server.  I have two other
machines, one running Win2K and one WinXP Pro, that connected with very
little problems.
My laptop, on the other hand, says it cannot find the domain.  I can
ping my server from the laptop, but cannot ping the laptop from the
server.  I have tried to follow the troubleshooting help, which led me
down the path of using nslookup to change some stuff I don't completely
understand yet. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Ken
