Dns? what happens if you go to windows run and put \home.lan

Is your server on the same lan?

did you tried to open a cmd window and ran nbtstat -a xx.xx.xx.xx where xx
is your domain server ip?

It should answer something like

Host not found.

ireless Network Connection:
ode IpAddress: [192.168.1.106] Scope Id: []

      NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

  Name               Type         Status

Test iā€™ve made were run on a virtualized virtual box machine over wifi to a
virtualized netserver over cable

it looks like its resolving it ok, and then when you try to add it to the
domain it tells you that it canā€™t reach de domain controller?

25

Yes thatā€™s correct, when I try to add it to the domain it tells me it canā€™t reach the domain controller?

26

Are you sure you applied the correct .reg file and it was proccessed ok,
seems to me that thatā€™s the problem.

27

I applied the .reg file highlighted below. using the process I explained in a previous post:

  1. copied the Client registry setting
  2. pasted it in a text file using ā€œBoc Noteā€
  3. saved as win7samba.reg
  4. double click on the file
  5. when completed, rebooted the win 7 client

It was processed ok and the key was added in the registry.

Your windows client under wifi router! Shame on you! Disable NAT on wifi , or put all wifi like AP mode without NAT! Or make some port redirection rules!

I am not sure but it could be that not every Windows version can be integrated in an Active Directory. Is your Windows a Home version?

@Nas Yes Sir ! thatā€™s was the issue. I set the second router in bridge mode and that solve the problem. win 7 successfully join the NS domain.

Thank you all for your great support and thanks for the development team for generously offering this fabulous product. My migration from Zentyal just started :smile:

As i asked earlier it might not work if the network subnets are different,
wins protocol normally is not routed, so if you have your dns server over a
regular router, you might try to setup dns entries for you domain on
windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and lmshosts, but its a little tricky
