Hello everyone.
I have Windows 7 RC1 (Build 7100) installed on my office computrer for testing against our current infratrcture so we have a good idea on how it will react when its finally released for sale.
Now its been running fine, except for a printer issue which im not to fussed about, for a week and a bit until mysteriously it dropped its connection from the Windows 2003 Enterprise 64bit R2 domain controller. When trying to login to the machine after the incident, it said "The trust relationship between this worksation and the primary domain failed". Yeah fair enough, I have seen this before on windows XP machines. I deleted the account on the domain controller, then added windows 7 to a random work group,restart, and attempted to add it back.... Which failed. The domain could not be contacted...
Occasionally, when i try to ping the server, 1 reply will come through and then timeout on the rest but most of the time it will just timeout on them all.
I get my ip address from DHCP running on the domain controller and that is still working fine! I can release and renew the lease.
I have a dual boot setup on this computer with Windows 7 and Windows XP. When i boot into XP, i can ping the server fine and have logged into the domain.
Now things I have tried to rectify the problem:
Hopefully I have given someone enough information to help nut out the issue, but please if you need anymore information I will be happy to give it to you. I don't want to go back to XP, windows 7 is nice!!

And the problem has magically fixed itself with no intervention from me...
Just started pinging the server and I am back on the domain right now...
weird

- Now, i logged in to the local machine and tried to ping the server. Nothing.
- I ping the ADMIN server which is sitting right next to the main domain controller running on the same switch. Success - Not a connectivity issue
- I can surf the internet, and I am posting this problem from Windows 7 now...

Now things I have tried to rectify the problem:
- Delete account from the domain controller and attempt to rejoin the domain
- Disabled firewalls on both end (Windows 7 and Windows 2003 Server)
- Changed the computer name on Windows 7
- Pulled my hair out!
- Signed up to this forum
