I set up server03 and a cleint ok on a friend pc ok and could log in to the server ok. But because it was my 1st experience of using virtual pcs or even networking I stumbled my way through.

Now I have tried to re-create the same thing on this pc but the client wont allow me to log on to the server.

wont even get as far as showing the username and password screen, just doesnt see the server at all .
no firewalls in place.

any ideas

thanks

 

I have just this second removed active directory and dns and i am just about to re-install them both.

the answer was yes to to "added the PC to the domain yet?"

no to pinged pc.

i will install active dir again now and if get stuck repost,

thanks man

 

On server config page. Do I setup DNS server 1st or domain controller (active directory) 1st.

thanks

 

Are you configuring the server on a virtual machine or do you have a real computer with cables and things?

Same question for the client?

What virtual software are you using?
