Can not Contact Domain Controller


Everytime I open the Cygwin Console I get the
following notifications:

Your group is currently "mkpasswd".  This indicates
that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should
be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for
example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.


So I have tried to do this:

mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
administrator@bgserver1 ~
$ mkpasswd -u "mblanco" -d "bgchemical.com" >
/etc/passwd
mkpasswd (731): [2453] Could not find domain
controller for this domain.

I can never contact my domain controller, which is on
the same machine as the cygwin.

Any help is appreiciated.
