Have a single PC (Windows XP SP3) stuck in a Workgroup that is giving me grief at an SMB customer.
-PC receives a valid DHCP address from the local DHCP server (Server1). -PC is able to ping Server1 by IP and by DNS name. -PC cannot join the domain for some reason (using NetBIOS name, errors with "A domain controller for the domain XYZ could not be contacted, insure the domain name is typed directly". -PC cannot join the domain for some reason (using DNS name, errors with "The following error occurred, attempting to join the domain 'XYZ.local'. The network location cannot be reached." -PC cannot access \\Server1 from Start->Run (errors with "\\Server 1 the network path was not found." Oddly enough, Server1 -cannot- ping the PC, even though the PC -can- ping Server1 and the PC has the Windows Firewall disable (XP) (they are on the same subnet as well). Tried changing the NIC card after a similiar issue I read online, but that didn't help either. Verified PC has proper DNS settings (points to Server1 for DNS) as well. Any idea what might be causing it? Some kind of corruption with the IP stack? Finding this really odd.
