server's ip address is 192.168.10.1 and one clients IP address is 192.168.10.19. using server ip from the client machine it is pinging but cant access the server and cannot add the client in Domain. what is the problem?
 
Solution
Problems joining client computers to a domain are usually DNS related. If you can ping the server from the client, then do an nslookup on that ip address and see if it correctly resolves the server's FQDN. Make sure your client has the server's address as its primary DNS server, and you can also try appending your domain suffix manually (it is in the network connections > TCP/IP properties > advanced > DNS tab).


trying to access by ip address. yes i can access server form other machines and other machines from server. when trying to add the client in domain message shown as 'the network location cannot be reached'.

Solution
If you cannot join the domain the first troubleshooting step is to ping the domain name from the computer you are trying to join. I.E. if domain name is mydomain.local then ping mydomain.local. If it cannot be resolved then you have a DNS issue.
