How do you fix this?? I'm fairly certain it's a problem with our server, and my friend is busy trying to fix it now. Any suggestions?

    it's telling you exactly what's wrong. It can't find the domain controller using DNS.

    The domain controller should be the DNS server for a small active directory network. If the DNS is done on another server on the network, make sure it's active-directory integrated.

    First of all, can you ping the server from that workstation? Let's start with basic connectivity.

    Woah... request timed out. Lemme go see if this thing is even connected anymore. :banghead:

    EDIT: He says the "DHCP server is down and the DNS server's down, there might as well not be a connection."

    Well there you go. You cannot join a domain unless the domain controller can be seen.

    He just changed up something, I can ping it and he think's it's gonna work. I think he'll have me try an' join again soon, I'll post back.
