Domain not available

When I try to log on the domain on a NT workstation, a message states that the domain is not available. However when I logon to the local administrator account, I am able to ping the PDC by its IP address and NetBIOS name.

This same machine is able to logon to the domain if I connect it directly to the network and give it a "real" static IP address. As it is right now, it is connected to a DHCP server/router which is assigning it "private" ip addresses (ie 192.168.0.xxx).

Anyone have any ideas why it would not logon to the domain with a private ip address, yet it can still get internet access?

Try disjoining the domain and then rejoining. Be sure you have it set with your dhcp first and restart if necessary and then do the prior step.

I've tried disjoining the domain. It will not let me rejoin the domain if I use it with the dynamic "private" ip addresses. It says no domain controller could be located.

do you have DHCP set up properly? check the subnet setting in DHCP.

Also, I assume your using NAT right. Make sure that the route is setup properly.

The route is properly set up. I have full internet access.

Any other suggestions?
