<div>Sorry for being to vague.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is the XP Pro error I get when I try to join the domain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A domian controller for the domain admin could not be contacted.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Esure that the domain name is typed correctly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If the name is correct, click on the Details for troubleshooting information.</div>

<div>Details:</div>

<div>Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.</div>
<div>The domain name admin might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.</div>
<div>If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.</div>
<div>An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain admin.</div>
<div>The error was: "No records found for given DNS query."<br>(error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)</div>
<div>The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.admin</div>

<div>Here is the testparm -sv you requested.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For a short explaination of the IP's listed. We have two domains. One served by 192.168.6.1 and one by 192.168.5.1. I am currantly upgrading the 192.168.6. network to Windows 7. Or atleast trying. 192.168.4.1 is our gatway and the two servers listed above act as file servers and routers for their domains. I hope that makes sence.</div>
