If by "local" you mean the Win2K/AD/DNS server, then yep, that ought
to
do it. Was this _not_ the case before, and you''ve just set it now? If
so, it ought to resolve your problem. If not, ensure that DNS is working
properly on the client. Try:
nslookup> set type=any
> <domain.name>
where <domain.name> is the DNS name of your AD domain.
It should dump out a ton of info, including IP addresses, NS records,
etc.
If _that_ works, and browsing does still not work, ensure that clients
can reach TCP/445 and TCP/135-137-138-139.
We''re getting a bit OT here for this list. :)
