Thanks again to everyone who responded to my issue. The fix was a weird one. With the power outage, our main switch lost it's jumbo frames settings. Once we reset all the ports to use jumbo frames, communications between the PDC and BDC were restored, and all was happy with the old network.

HOSTS is the file based version of DNS, to resolve an FQDN to an IP address.... for NT Domain issues, the LMHOSTS file is the one that works like WINS to resolve NetBIOS names ( Browse ) to IP Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
