I too have some problem.

Server: Win2k server
All Clients: Win2k Proff
ADSL Router: Cisco677

Default Gateway on the clients: Router's IP
DNS Server Address: ISP's DNS server Address
IP Address of clients: frm DHCP Server

The problem is, if i restart any client, while applying computer settings, it hangs.
(if I pull the network cable and leave it for 10 seconds..,i will get log on prompt, i can log on using cache, reconnect the network cable, able to browse the local network or the web)

Any suggestions to solve this?
If you need more details about the configurations...i can post it

thanks and regards

If you deploy AD you need to have your own DNS server up to tell the clients where look for W2K server services. If you don't the clients can take up 20 minutes to boot before it gives you a logon screen. If you pull the network cable the Clinet has figured it is not on a network and skips all those network setups.

Question do you DNS running?
Question what is doing your DHCP?
Question Have you deployed AD?

I have seen win2000 machines hang with duplicate ip's on the same network. Make sure that any machines with fixed ip's are excluded from dhcp scope. Then bring one machine on at a time.

Hope this helps. There is a product called DNS2go which you can download from

http://dns2go.deerfield.com.

DNS2Go is a free DNS service that links a domain name (e.g. you.dns2go.com or you.com) to your computer's Internet IP address. DNS2Go makes it possible to operate your own Web, FTP or Email servers whether you are on a static or dynamic IP.It does work because i use it myself and it costs me nothing for the privelege. Having a dns2go.com name may or may not benefit you but there is other services that they provide for a small fee which could help you.

Again hope this helps

Thanks jjgraf & Sleet

The DNS, DHCP Servers are Running ok.
active Directory is deployed.

I installed Windows XP Proff in one Client and found working fine.(I donno how!)

HI.

As mentioned before -
Implement an internal DNS server.
Make sure all servers and clients use the internal DNS server and not ISP.
Configure ISP DNS servers as forwarders of your internal DNS server.
Make sure all servers and clients use the same domain-name (when you added them to the domain it probably happened already).

This will solve many problems for you, and will improve network performance.
