Hey Hey,
Can't say I've ever seen that problem, however the Microsoft Knowledge base seems to have a related article.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;272686
If you can provide more information, I'll look further into the problem,
Peace.

I rem i did remove some protocols or services from
"Local Area Connection Status" ---"properties" ---- "TCP/IP" ---- "instal"l ---- "protocol/services".
That might be why my active directory is not working.
I tried the W32time but its not working!
PLease tell me " According to error message in my first thread" what protocol and services it need to function.

"cant find server name for address 10.x.x.x : Non existent domain
Default servers are not available
Default Server : Unknown

Where are your DNS servers pointed? (On the machine you did the NSlookup) Are they pointed to your internal DNS server or to your ISP's dns server. Are you on the DNS server? The reason I ask is your ISP might not have your domain in their registry of domains (and so it points you nowhere).

Well, its a small lan i have at home.
Only 2 PC.
PC A ( Win 2000 Advance Server): 10.0.0.12 <------ DNS INSTALLED and pointing to himself.
PC B ( Win 2000 Professional ) : 10.0.0.13
PC A (DNS server ) is where i did the NSlookup!
And i dun really understand this part
"The reason I ask is your ISP might not have your domain in their registry of domains (and so it points you nowhere"
Additional info, this 2 PC is connected together by a Aztech 4 port router.
IP:10.0.0.2

The reason I asked about your ISP is because if you computer looks to your ISP's DNS servers for name resolution then your ISP might not have your DNS information. (And therefore would not know where to look when you asked it for your personal domain that you created)
Example: You want to go to Yahoo.com.
Your computer does this (in simple terms):
Your computer contacts your ISP's DNS server and asks do you know where yahoo.com is? ISP's DNS server might need to ask another DNS server. Finally you get a responce. And your ISP's dns server tells your computer yahoo.com is at 66.218.71.198.
Anyway... to get back to the problem. So.... if your DNS server is not responding to a nslookup....
When you type "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) at the command line what does it specify for your DNS server?
Also, you did do a Start - Run - "dcpromo" (without quotes) to get DNS working correct?

When i did this . It says Welcome to Active Directory Installation Services, when i click next, It states " Remove Active Directory"....? Why do i have to remove Active Driectory???
When i type Ipconfig/all, this is what i get.
Windows 2000 IP configuration
hostname: Benq
Primary DNS Suffix : ABC.com
Node type Hybrid
IP routing Enabled : Yes
Wins Proxy Enabled : No
DNS Suffix Search List : 10.0.0.12 <-----Benq IP address
Ethernet adapter local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix : 10.0.0.12
Description: Asus......Blah,blah....
Physical Address : 00-Blah-blah -balh
DHCP Enabled : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled : Yes
IP address : 10.0.0.12
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 10.0.0.2
DHCP server : 10.0.0.2
DNS Server : 10.0.0.2
Additional info:
I set TCP/IP properties to" Obtain address automatically" & "Obtain DNS server automatically".
I have tried to set "Obtain DNS server automatically" to 10.0.0.12. But it doesnt work too.
Thanks.
Please feel free to ask for more details in any particular area.

This might be where your problem lies. Win2k likes to have a static IP address for its DNS servers. So it knows where to find the server each time it loads. Disable DHCP and set a static IP address and DNS server. Do you have a broadband router? Or did you set up the IP address scheme yourself?
DCPROMO starts the install or uninstall of DNS services in Win2k. I guess you must of used the wizard to set everything up at one point.
