Yep, I was the one who set the domain up. Now i've turned the windows firewall off on the server everything seems to be working ok in fact i've just joined a new computer to the domain. But now i've got to figure out why the windows firewall is stopping computers from joining the domain and stopping me pinging mydom.local, even though I can ping the ip address of the server.

Anyone got any ideas?

Can you tell us what the servers ip address is and what the clients addresses are (all of it, gateway dns the lot)! that may yield some clues.

What a mess, it seems you have to enable all sorts of exceptions in the windows firewall when you make it a DC. Why on earth didn't MS make it easier to configure the their firewall when making a server a DC, surely it's a common enough task.

I found the solution here.

What version of windows server 2003 are you using? I'm sure that Windows firewall is disabled by default on all new installations.

When you run dcpromo it should disable the windows firewall, weird.
