Kerry I truly appreciate your help and patience. I got my laptop to
connect as well to the domain. I basically had no experience with this
operating system and that link you sent me worked better than any of the
books I read. The last question I has is about wireless. My laptop has
wireless has well. Do I need to set the settings manually in TCP/IP as
well?
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig /all

I will be fooling around with it more but I accomplished my main goal.
Thanks again.

Yes, if you are not using the server for DHCP then you will have to at least
set the DNS server manually.

Hi Breakingcustom and Kerry, I have the same crazy situation, except it
is happening on just one of my Vista Business laptops. Have two others
and more 12 XP Pro machines all connecting to my SBS R1 domain no
problem. This one machine just will not connect and get the same error
message "Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the
following error occured:An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in
the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is
configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the
target domain."
I had previously contact Microsoft and they reviewed my DNS and AD on
my SBS and all was fine (I am using the router for DHCP). My local
server is lercabo.local. Judging by all the posts on this forum and
others, I am not alone in encountering this error.
I have compared the IPCONFIG of each of the other VISTA machines and
what seems to be wrong with this one is that the DNS server on the
Wireless Adpater is the same as the DHCP gateway. My gateway (router) is
192.168.0.1 and my server is set at 192.168.0.15. I cannot see a way to
change the setting displayed in IPCONFIG for the DNS to 192.168.0.15. I
guess that happens automatically once a connection to the server is
established.
Would welcome your comments.
PS> Microsoft did advise me to change the DHCP to the Server rather
than the router. However, since my other Vista and XP machines are all
connecting fine, I am rather reluctant to go that route.

Hi Steve
you can try this command in command line
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.15
Also check in your network connection settings wheter there any
additonal dns server address set up.
Hope this helps
Cheers !!!

thanks John - that worked fine! I then rebooted and checked again and
the correct DNS entry was there in IPCONFIG.
