Connecting 2000 to 2000 Domain Controlers

Hello

I have recently installed windows 2000 server with active
directory without configuring the DNS as we use external
dns server to browse internet.

When i tried conencting win 2000 workstations to the
domain a couple of machines connected successfully and the
rest are not connecting , i get error "The Network Path
was Not Found"

I am not sure what i am doing wrong.
I tested with net user //computername
user:[email protected] and the connection is successful



If i add workstation to a workgroup also its not working.
I have netbui over TCP enables and the service for
TCP/Netbui running
Please help me as i am struck

AD MUST have a DNS server set up for the AD domain. Your ISP's DNS server
will not work.

Set up DNS on the AD DC.
Point the AD DNS server to itself for DNS in the properties of TCP/IP.
Point all AD clients to the AD DNS server ONLY.
For Internet access set up your AD DNS server to forward requests and list
your ISP's DNS server as the forwarder.

You can't do that. All client must use the AD DNS on the DC. The ISP's DNS
IP# goes in the Forwarder's list in your AD DNS.

a terminal server and now i am unable to connect it , it
says connection refused
