hello all,

i am try to get familiar with active directory in win2k.....first i had problems with the DNS server it would install but when tested with a query it would fail
the test and would freeze up preventing the installation of active directory. i used a third party dns server (dns plus) and their tool to let me set the server ip to loopback 127.0.0.1.....now i can access my network (winxp) and
the internet, active directory is installed...HOWEVER in network nieghboorhood on the xp machine the win2k pc still shows with its old workgroup name and also as a pc in the new domain its in...i am allowed access to win2k (workgroup)as if it was still in the workgroup and a net view from the xp pc shows the win2k STILL in the workgroup as well as in a domain. the winxp pc is has not joined this domain and should be allowed to access but it can! any ideas where too look to correct this thanks john
