We have an xp machine that we brought into an office at a remote location (which is connected via a T1 connection through our phone system and set up as a vpn) after the previous one's hdd failed.
When trying to join the domain it indicates that a domain controller is not able to be contacted for the domain. We can ping the pdc and bdc, however, as well as any other machine on said network. Our pdc and bdc are running Server 2008.
We took it to another location and it joined the domain just fine. Upon returning it to the remote site, it will not complete a log in to a domain account, however, if we unplug the network cable and let it log in to a previously cached login, it completes the login.
When we plug the cable back in it indicates that the LAN connection is active, however, if we try to access any network based resource it will not load. For example, we can try accessing a website and it waits for a reply until it times out. The only accessible site is google.com; we can do a search, but are not able to access any of the sites in the search.
No other users are having an issue with connectivity at the site. Also of note, the computer is able to see the computers at the remote site via network places and it can also access their c shares, but cannot access anything outside of the building. In addition, the pc that was in this location before had no connection issues.
It pulls the proper DNS information via ipconfig -all. We can also receive successful pings and tracerts for any website or other machine on the network.
We have tried reinstalling windows, flushdns and registerdns, release/renew, etc. and it all appears fine.
Any other pc plugged into the same location also has the same issues as well. There are no bad ports on our switches and there is more than one jack in the office and all have the same issue for a pc plugged into them as well. The IP phone that is plugged into the office runs properly (though I don't know if this is of relevance).
We also run a sonic wall which has had a recent firmware upgrade, but I do not handle this part of the network so am unsure of the specifics.
Any ideas?
