Hi. I am not sure what i am doing wrong - my domain controller has been installed with the defaults on win server 2003. i have one other box that is the database that i am trying to connect to. the other box keeps telling me that it can't find the DC when i try to join the domain from there. Suggestions welcomed at this point. Below is the actual error from the remote box and the results of dcdiag and ipconfig/all from the DC box.
