I configured a domain controller on my virtualbox and I want to connect another DC to it. The guest machine is Windows 8. The network adapter I used is NAT.

For the 1st domain controller:

  • IP:192,168,5.2,
  • Gateway: 192.168.5.1,
  • Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
  • DNS as the gateway IP.

For the 2nd domain controller:

  • server IP: 192.168.5.3,
  • gateway: 192.168.5.1
  • DNS as the IP of the first DC..192.168.5.2

I don't know why they are not communicating with each other. The moment I run dcpromo on the second DC it comes up with an error message to check my DNS and the domain name...it comes with this error too:

0x000005B4_TIMEOUT

Can anyone help?
