I have built many W2K networks using SonicWall VPN to connect branch offices (BO) to a central site. This has always worked very well.
One site continues to trouble me though. This site has a W2K+Sp3 server that refuses to join the main AD domain. DNS & WINS on this server point across the VPN to a server in the central site. I can ping and access resources on the central site from the branch office - IP connectivity appears good. I can run nslookup on the BO server and query for records in DNS. Is there something blindingly obvious that I'm missing here ? Maybe some ISP/VPN related issue that would prevent a server in the BO from joining the domain ?
