Cannot join Domain

I have a new Windows 2003 Business Server. Everything seems to work, can get
to the web do updates, etc.
However none of the workstations can join the Domain, I have the DNS on the
work stations pointing to the new server. The workstations cannot ping the
server. However the Server CAN ping the work stations. What am I missing?

Hello Terry,

What OS are the workstations? Are firewalls on the workstations enabled?

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

Firewall was on, but turned off same problem

How are you pinging? by name? by address? Try setting the IP address and DNS
address manually and joining.

Do you get an error message?

The erro whtn trying to join the Domain is "cannot find path"

I'm pinging by IP. How do you mean set IP and DNS manually? I have the IP set
in TCP properties to it's IP same for DNS. One workstation the same the other
is Dymantic

On the static machine can you ping the DNS server and DC by IP address?

Actually the DNS Server is being done by the router. We can ping the router
but not the DC
