Delete the " . " Forward Lookup zone, refresh the DNS console (or close and
re-open it) set a forwarder to your ISP.

Do not use your ISP's DNS on any client or DC, in TCP/IP properties. ISP's
DNS can only be used as a forwarder.

If your AD domain is the same as your public domain and you are trying to
access sites or servers hosted on the internet in that domain, such as
www.example.com, open you local example.com forward lookup zone and add a
new host named www, give it the IP address of the website and click create.

Using your local DNS is not an option, it is required, never use your ISP's
DNS in TCP/IP properties, in any position.
