Hi all
I hope you can help. I am trying to connect my windows 10 pro laptop to my windows server 2016 Active Directory Domain and yet when I try to join the domain, the error message is that the domain doesn't exist.
I have made sure I have the following services running:
DNS Client
FDRP
SSDP Discovery
UPnP Device
On the server:
IP4: ***.***.***.51
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: ***.***.***.1 - ip of router
DNS: 127.0.0.1 - I have read conflicting information about the DNS settings!
On the client:
IP4: ***.***.***.07
DNS: ***.***.***.51 - server's IP
My laptop is a named user in Active Directory. I have checked the domain name. I can ping the server, but can't ping the domain. I disable the firewall on the domain, just to test it and it hasn't made a difference.
Can anyone help me with this - I know there is probably a simple setting that I overlooked!!
Thanks in advance

YESSSSSS! I am a member of my domain! Whoo hoo!!
Fab! Thank you so much for all your help. 🙂
So all I need to now do is create a static IPv6 and Bob's your uncle.
Once again - thanks - I owe you a beer!
