I have just installed a Win 2k Server in Office, It multi boots with Windows 98. Every thing seemed to work fine but My Directory Service has failed to run, I have installed it but when I want to create user Accounts it attempts to look for the Domain Controller and finally says Domain Controller does not exist. This is the Only Domain Controller. ie I set the server up as a domain Controller. I can see the its name when I try to click the My network Places icon but it puzzles me when it reports that the D/controller does not exist.

Even when I try to conver the server to a stand alone usin dcpromo.exe still somewhere it prompts fopr this domain controller and when I supply the true name it only tells me the d/controller does not exist and exits without accomplishing the task.

What could i be missing
