I have installed 2000 server on a machine and am now trying to configure active directory. &nbsp;After answering all of the questions in the wizard, i.e. the new domain name, NetBios and such i get the box saying that active directory is going to install. &nbsp;I quickly get an error stating &quot;Bad DNS packet&quot; - I suppose that Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom figured the common man would know what the heck that meant but i dont have a clue.<br />
<br />
Im no expert at installing and settign up 2000 server but i did figure it would complete its initial set up properly. &nbsp;Can anyone tell me what is causing this error?<br />

2000 Server - Bad DNS packet

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
