Moved the hdd of my DC over to nicer P4 machine. It started as expected. (I have resolved the eth0 driver issue that happens with Debian/Ubuntu servers when you move a functional hdd to a different machine.) Then I decided to change the static ip address of the DC from 192.168.**.54 to 192.168.**.51. That went as expected, except it seems my W7 client cannot connect to my domain, now. It says ". . . attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller . . . has failed" I have adjusted the W7 to seek the DC ip address of 192.168.**.51 for it's nameserver. Is there something I need to adjust within bind9 files to correct this? (I know little about bind9.) Or could I have overlooked something on the W7 client side? -- ------------------------- Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 (main) www.donelsontrophy.com [1] "Everyone deserves an award!!"
