Static Network Configurations • DDNS (Dynamic DNS) • DNS • Domain Suffix Search Order • WINS • LMHOST • NetBIOS over TCPIP
DDNS and DNS Settings • Add the DDNS servers. These are the W2K Domain Controllers in the site where the computer resides “amer.dell.com” • Add one NT4 DNS server as a third entry “us.dell.com” • There is no need for any other DNS servers unless your LAB requires it
DDNS and DNS Settings • Add the Domain Suffixes for W2K. These are from the W2K DDNS Domain “amer.dell.com” • Add the Domain Suffix for NT4 DNS “us.dell.com” • There is no need for any other suffixes unless your computer needs to resolve names outside it’s area i.e. Austin To Nashville – aus to bna

Domain Membership Confirm Communications to Domain If you cannot ping amer.dell.com check your network configurations. You may also check all physical connections i.e. cables, NIC, wall connectors etc. DO NOTcontinue if there is no connection to amer.dell.com. It would be pointless…
