You are trying to create a used named mohammed, but AD won't ley you do it? Anything else is named mohammed in AD, e.g., the domain, the server or a PC?
How did you determine that the server doesn't see the client? You tried to ping the client and it didn't reply? That might be because the firewall is active on the client while it isn't on the server. -

I have tried all sorts my wife name, work name etc
i ping the server through the client but i can not ping the client through through the server -
mbismillah said:where do i go to check if the firewall is on?
Control Panel, Windows Firewall. You can keep it active, but in order to reply to pings, you have to allow ICMP traffic. To do that, click Advanced, ICMP Settings and check Allow incoming echo request. Click OK twice to save the settings. -
GhislainG said:That message normally comes up only if you use a password that doesn't meet the requirements. Are you using a complex password?
i am not using complex password
this is what is say
"the pasword does not meet the password policy requirment, check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirment."
Thank you for helping me with the Pinging the client from the server -
GhislainG said:That's what I said. You have 2 options: you use a password like Abc123! that meets password complexity requirements or disable password complexity (not recommended).
Thanks Got it sorted out
do i have to create a user accont on the clients machine as well as on the server or would crating the name on the server would be enough?
evertime i create a user account on the server i have to create the same user on the client
is it possible that i can create the user account only on the server -
You should never create the account on the client side. If the PC is in the domain, domain users should be able to log on to it. If they need power user or administrator rights, then add the required domain accounts to the local power users or administrator groups. Again, never create an equivalent local account, except for the local administrator account that always exists.

when i created the user account only on the server it did not reconise the account. when i created the user on the cllient as well then it only regnoise the user -
GhislainG said:On the PC, did you join the domain? In other words, do you see the client computer in Active Directory Users and Computers? If not, then you should make it join the domain.
Edit: When you login on the PC, do you select a domain account?
it does see all of the above and i did join the doiman -

in Active Directory where would i need to put the users in ?
I have put the users in the gereral users in AC , do i need to put the users in the domain group in AC -
You create the user in AD on the server. Isn't it what you did when you added your user? If so, then the user is in AD and that user should be in the Domain Users group.
Go to the Active Directory section at http://www.visualwin.com/ and click on the type of task that you want to perform. -

Thanks I created the user IN AC and not in thr Domain User Group -
GhislainG said:If the server is connecting to the Internet and it's properly configured, then it will work fine. The server will behave as a router; nothing else is required.
so it will go like this
Router connected to the Server
server connected to the switch
all the other PC's connected to the switch -
GhislainG said:That's correct. The default gateway on the server will be the router. I presume that you'll setup DHCP on the server and configure it properly. The following scope options are required:
- 003 Router (your server's LAN IP address)
- DNS Server (probably your ISP's)
Hi
what is a 003?
will the sever give out IP ADDRESS OR THE actual Hradware Router? -
GhislainG said:003 is the router in your DHCP configuration. Don't you have Windows 2003 Server and if so, why don't you try it? Your server should be the DHCP server for the client PCs. That can't be done by the router if it's hidden behind the server.
Hi
if i setup the INTERNET with 2 NIC in the server will i need to get an IP ADDRESS FROM MY ISP?
I was told that this is a hardway in ceonnecting the network to the internet -

here is the situations
have a star topology and i need the server to control the internet( what machine can have access etc.) and
i have a Router/modem and a switch -

Hi
i am having problems with my DHCP on Windows 2003 Server, i have to manualy put the IP Address on the Clients and also the Server, when i chose to use automatic it gives out a error.
i am using a switch will that be the problem -
You have to decide if the server or the router (I presume that you have a router and not a switch; otherwise you wouldn't be concerned) will provide IP addresses. A DHCP server has to have a static IP address, i.e., it can't assign a dynamic IP address to itself. Once the server has a static IP address, then you can configure the DHCP server and it will work. You can't have a router and a server providing DHCP services at the same time. That will always cause issues.
