Vista Forums - View Single Post - Vista Cannot Connect to Server 2003 Domain

Ok, DHCP is disabled on the router. I removed the role of DC and re-added. The domain name is now breakingcustom.lan.

I also instead DHCP server and WINS server. In the DHCP server I had to scope run from 192.168.1.100 to 150. Followed the wizard and resolve my Server IP for DNS and WINS. Also told it the IP that was my router.

When I go to IP config it shows 127.0.0.1 instead of my ISP DNS. I just added the DNS server role and had it forward to the DNS servers for my ISP. Now the internet works on the server computer.

I'm having trouble though getting the laptop to connect still. When I go through the Network ID wizard and I put in BREAKINGCUSTOM.LAN as my domain it says "An Active Directory Domain Controller for the domain BREAKINGCUSTOM.LAN could not be contacted.

I even put the 127.0.0.1 as my DNS server and still nothing.
