I've made my Win 2003 Server machine as a Domain Controller.

I want to connect to that Domain using my VISTA machine..
The same thing works fien with Win XP as my client. Win XP has been able to
connect to that Win 2003 Server machine thru the DC.

But i get some error related to DNS........ WHEN i try connecting with my
VISTA machine....

Does anyone know why it is behaving in this manner???
Is there anything else i need to configure or do??

Please let me know asap..............
its a bit urget issue...
Thanks in advance....

what does ipconfig /all return? What does nslookup <dc name> return?

Daft question, but you are running Ultimate or Business? Home versions won't
connect to a domain.

You know what would really help? Details of that "some error related to
DNS". Some people around here can actually fix a fault right away if you
actually tell them what it is.

What settings do you have for DNS on the server and workstation?
