Hello everyone, I have recently installed windows server 2003 standard on my PC1 and I wanted to create a domain controller (active directory) for all the other PCs in my network. The only thing is I wanted to keep my server behind my d-link router with all my others PC. Here is a list of all my PCs and there configuration: D-Link Router IP = 192.168.0.1 DHCP: PC1 = 192.168.0.100 (static) PC2 = 192.168.0.101 (static) PC3 = 192.168.0.102 (static) PC4 = 192.168.0.103 (static) MAC Control on all static IPs in the DHCP PC1 Windows Server 2003 IP = 192.168.0.100 DG = 192.168.0.1 DNS = 192.168.0.1 PC2 Windows XP Pro SP2 Default setting PC3 Windows XP Pro SP2 Default setting PC4 Windows XP Pro SP2 Default setting At this point, I have successfully created domain controller with active directory on the server (PC1) and by default a DNS was also created on the server. Furthermore, I have also created a user\password on the server and I have logged that user on PC2. At this point, I’ve tried to share a folder in PC2 but couldn’t see the domain or any user in the active directory in the security tab for sharing. So I have tried modifying the TCP\IP settings in PC2 to PC4 : PC2 Windows XP Pro SP2 IP = 192.168.0.101 DG = 192.168.0.1 DNS = 192.168.0.100 Windows Firewall = OFF PC3 Windows XP Pro SP2 IP = 192.168.0.102 DG = 192.168.0.1 DNS = 192.168.0.100 Windows Firewall = OFF PC4 Windows XP Pro SP2 IP = 192.168.0.103 DG = 192.168.0.1 DNS = 192.168.0.100 Windows Firewall = OFF [img]C:\Documents and Settings\efernandez.PROCESSIA2003\Desktop\ConfigurationDeDomaine.JPG[/img] This has resolved my problem of sharing a folder on the network but it seems extreme. Can someone tell me if this secure? Or is there a better way of doing this? Also what is your opinion of the settings that works (DG? DNS?)?
