Hi,
ive just set up SBS 2003 as a virtual machine running in VMware, set up so that the network thinks its a real pc (has a static IP address etc).
whenever i try and connect a client PC it comes up with an error 'The list of users and computers cannot be found. before you continue ensure that the client computer has a wired connection.' then it says some more stuff about router performing DHCP services.
i have disable the dhcp services in the router and have enabled them on SBS. i have configured the client pc to obtain ip address automatically and also set the dns servers as primary: sbs ip address, seconday: router ip address.
i have also set up sbs so that its has the same configuration as the above.
all computers have no problem accessing the internet and they can both see eachother
i have tried looking up solutions to this but it is way to complicated for me.
so could someone please explain in nice simple steps, sorry i have next to no understanding of servers and am trying to learn fast
cheers
