Hello there, I am looking to set up a small server and it was suggested to use Zentyal. So far it seems just perfect for what we need. File and Printer Sharing, to start and perhaps more as we grow in comfort with Zentyal. The problem is that I cannot get the window XP machines to see the "domain" i created in Zentyal. I have been following "http://howtoforge.org/using-ebox-as-windows-primary-domain-controller-p3" as a tutorial along with "http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Document/Documentation/ZentyalDesktop/Windows" but not working. The server has a single NIC and is connected to the same router as all the Window XP machines. The window XP machines all use DHCP but I assigned Zentyal a static of 192.168.10.254. Currently the network traffic is not being routed via Zentyal, but in the future we would look in install a second NIC and change our network configuration. From Zentyal I am able to ping any of the window XP machines. From the XP machines I cannot ping the Zentyal server. I disabled the firewall and can now ping! Still unable to join the domain. Server IP is 192.168.10.254 Currently we are using a TP-Link that is acting as the DHCP server. The DHCP Routers IP is 192.168.10.1 The Zentyal Server has been assigned a static IP of 192.168.10.254 I do not understand you question - What is your DHCP Scope. The Zentyal server can be pinged only to it's IP Addres. If I try to ping the domain name it will not resolve, I now understand that part of the problem is related to the DNS settings. For the Zentyal Server Information: The server's name is "wht.locale" As set in the web itnerface "core / system / general The Gateways in "Core / Network / Gateways" is Name=wht IP=192.168.10.1 Weight=1 Default=Yes Under "Core / Network / DNS" there are only the (2) providers DNS Host IPs Under "Infrastructure / DNS" I hae added "wht" and "wht.local" the IP's for both are set to the servers of 192.168.10.254 Thank you again for the help and hope you have some futher suggestions. Hope that I have given the right level of information here to get some much needed help. As always thanks in advance for the support!
