I am trying to connect Windows 7 to the domain of a Windows 2008 Server. We have ~20 other Windows XP clients able to join and connect to the domain.
I get this error message when trying to join the domain:
An attempt to resolve the dns name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed.
I have the TCP/IP set to obtain the IP automatically and the DNS as static with the correct DNS IP.
I can ping the server using both it's IP and host name.
DNS functions propperly when the host name is typed into the URL bar.
It also says that I have limited connection but I think that is because the network that all these computers are connected to is not connected to the web.
Any ideas?
