Hi guys,
First, a bit of background on my network - I'm running a Windows 2003 network where DHCP is served by one of the DCs. There is only one DHCP server on the network.
I have a workstation (XP Pro) that I cannot get to join the domain unless I specify a static IP address. Once on the domain, you can only logon as a domain user if the workstation still has the static IP - if set to DHCP the domain is not contactable ("the system cannot log you on now because the domain BCGS is not available").
I've checked and the workstation does get an address by DHCP. I've also checked what I can ping - I can ping the router but not any servers or my workstation.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm completely stumped. I've reinstalled the network card already to no avail. I've also looked at which has similar symptoms although the environment is different.
Thanks in advance!
Jonathan
