I can ping...the real question is what happens the first time you login to a
domain (locally...at the site) that's not happening now...think about it...if
I have a laptop that has been joined to the domain and then I take it home or
offline or whatever it still says okay sure use that domain and your login to
authenticate ... but if I'm not even connected to the internet ... much less
the corp domain it's still works...what piece am I missing to get that
functionality...that is the question I think I should have asked in the first
place.
Thanks for your help...I'm a DBA and I don't have nearly as much
networking/system knowledge as I'd like so please pardon any and all
ignorance.
