I have installed Windows 2003 server R2 on a VM. This VM is running on Windows XP PRO. When i try to make this XP Pro PC join the domain on the VM it tries to locate the server and gives me the following error message " The specified network name is no longer available", despite the fact that i can still see this domain on my network.

can anyone help with this please.

This is the very first time i am trying connecting a client to a VM server so hope am not doing anything wrong..

thanks

Check the DNS setting for the PC and make sure that it is either pointing to the Domain Controller as the DNS server, or pointing to a DNS server that forwards to the domain's DNS server.

    you should only use one - you need to resolve _tcp.: try `nslookup _tcp.` - when this command answers with the IP address, you'll be set. – jneves Apr 29 '10 at 17:27
