It looks to be fixed now after I corrected the IP address in DNS.

When I originally set up the 2nd DC, it was here in New York - then we shipped it to LA. When I ping it from the NY DC using the DNS name, it uses the old IP address - not the current one.

Thanks again Keshav. So far, it looks to be a DNS issue. Firewall is disabled on both DC's. I can ping both ways successfully by IP address but not by DNS name. Event Log gives File Replication Event ID 13508 on both DC's (pasted below). I have yet to run DCDiag, but will soon. Event Type...
