Joining Domain over IP address i.i 192.168.42.2 and 192.168.55.2

Hello all,

New here so I'm sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place.
I have a few Vm's going at once for a specific task, pretty much setting up a branch office and head quarters. Currently have a DC as one pc, File server and a Remote Access Server. So 3 servers. Then i have another 3, pretty much same set up but instead of a DC it needs to be a RODC.

When I try joining the VM due to be the RODC server to the DC it doesn't like it. I get the error:

An active directory domain controller for the domain *****.com could not be contacted....

Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain ******.com:

The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired."
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.chandlab.com

The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:

192.168.42.2

Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running.

The DC info is:

IP address: 192.168.42.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Def gate: blank
DNS: 127.0.0.1

The computer to be the RODC info is:

IP address: 192.168.55.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Def gate:blank
DNS: 192.168.42.2

The Network adapters of VM are the first 3 set to VMnet 1 Host-only, while the other 3 are set to VMnet 2 Host-only (Apart from the RAS they also have another NIC that is VMnet 0 Bridged). This is a requirement of the task

The computers need to have a different range, another requirement for the task. The main issue is connecting the these 2 so I can progress and I've been hitting a brick wall for a day and a half.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your RODC VM is unable to contact your DC to make a DNS request.
Fix the network routing between both subnets until both DC and RODC can communicate with each other.
As to how to do it, that is probably part of your task.

try to ping each other and you will realize what's going on.

this guy above said it all

I've seen this behavior when using multiple virtual NICs on a virtual DC using workstation. Like Mike said, verify that you can ping the DC. Then go to the DNS manager on the DC. Right click the DNS server and go to properties. Click the Interfaces tab, select "Listen on" and make sure only 192.168.42.2 is checked. See if that makes a difference.

Edit: I just re-read your post. Go with what the guys above me said.

OK, so I've done the routing and remote access and set up the RAS servers to act as routers, if that makes sense.

So this is what the Adelaide RAS looks like, http://puu.sh/kbAdx/f3162133da.png
Along with the static routes http://puu.sh/kbAfZ/2826dc4d86.png
the properties of the server, http://puu.sh/kbAiX/3c47b82cc7.png , http://puu.sh/kbAlM/1c8df87445.png, http://puu.sh/kbAnj/b843c76ddb.png, http://puu.sh/kbAsS/8c64f61fa4.png, http://puu.sh/kbAup/b91e8936de.png

Its also the same with the Elizabeth RAS but vice versa with the addresses, http://puu.sh/kbAMS/137b4908c1.png

Also the preshared key is 4AWS on both and the credentials password is Password1 for both sets of network interfaces.

but when i try to connect them by right clicking the network interface and clicking connect, at the 5 second mark i get this error http://puu.sh/kbz7n/5cbdfb28cd.png

Now me and a mate are trying to sus this out and even the lecturer is stumped. So would appreciate any help and sorry for so many links, only way to adequately convey the information.
