just curious anyone have the same problem described below and a
better work around.
win 2000 server running dns, and dhcp. mac os x server 10.4.1 using
static ip with forward and reverse records set up on win dns, mac os
x client 10.4.1 using dhcp.
problem: unable to find nearest domain server error message
on os x 10.4.1 client.
result: cannot log in using domain user accounts
work around: added dns server ip addresses and search domain to each
os x client's network preferences, then joined AD domain.
comments: $ ipconfig getpacket en0 returns the dns server ip
addresses and search domain.
