Hi I have installed a new win 2k server, installed AD & DNS. Our XP Pro
clients can logon no problem getting drive letters mapped from
a logon script. These drive letters are all accessible. However when I try
to add network place or view entire network it errors at the point where I
select our domain. The error is :

Midsoft_domain is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this
network resource.
Also I cannot access certain clients from the server either.

My login account has Administrator rights. I have opened the following
ports on our winroute firewall but even with it disabled it has the same
problem. Although I can't find a definate list of what ports do what.
I believe somewhere there is a DNS problem. All the clients have static
private ip addresses and Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled on each one.

UDP 53,137, 138,
TCP 135, 445, 139

There are of course more specific ports for certains app open as well.

Unfortunatly I don't know a way of exporting or printing the dns server's
settings but everything was installed by the wizard except that I deleted
the . forward zone and set Dunamic updates to Yes.

Any suggestions wouyld be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy Dyble
