Are you able to ping the domain and the domain controller(s)?

<div>
yes, no problem with ping. I can also access the server via windows //server<br />
<br />
can connect to network printers. <br />
<br />
i think it might be the firewall. I have a netgear FVS336G installed recently. <br />
<br />
could that be causing the issue?<br />
<br />
when i do an Ipconfig &nbsp;/all. &nbsp;I get primary dns 192.168.1.5 as the server<br />
and secondary dns 192.168.1.1<br />
<br />
its so random, though. was able to connect a new machine yesterday. but not the other. all on the same switch into the same firewall

Interesting, then I guess manually entering the DNS and WINS in the TCP/IP settings should fix that.
