I can't activate Windows 7, I get an error saying DNS name does not exist. Is something configured incorrectly somewhere?
PS: I need the answer within 13 days ;)
UPDATE: I had upgraded from my company's Windows Vista build, and when I connect to the company VPN and activate I get a different error:
The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.
The Application Event Log contains this (I took out the server name, it's one of the company servers):
The client has sent an activation request to the key management service machine. Info: 0xC004F042, 0x00000000, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:1688, 7fbdc9b7-d654-49ed-80a7-81a34408f8dc, 2009/09/01 10:59, 0, 2, 17880, ae2ee509-1b34-41c0-acb7-6d4650168915, 25

Yes, everything works fine, just activation is a problem – Charlie – 2009-09-01T10:38:21.643
