I have to ping the server before connect

[coylert]

When I login to my workstation and try to vnc to a server on our new AD domain I have to ping the IP address first, then I can connect to the server, this is also the case with browsong with start run

Any ideas thanks

[coylert]

Fixed I setup up a reverse lookup zone and configured primary DNS correctly

Now saying that I sovled might have been a bit premature as I had to use the IP address to get to the server this morning and not the name so Im still at a loss

Just out of curiosity, Is there a gateway on this network?

[coylert]

yes, why ?

[lcsmith39]

It depends. How big is this network? Sometimes gateways have been to known to cause odd behavior on larger networks. And little oddities on a large network can be a real pain in the butt to track down.......
