On the internal NIC tcp/ip properties/advanced/dns, make sure the domain is
listed in the dns suffix for this connection box and that register this
connection and use this connection's suffix in registration are checked.
This tells the Domain controller what zone to register its services in so
other units on the net can find them. Clear these settings on the external
NIC. Verify that the domain controller is pointing to a valid dns server
holding either a primary or Active directory integrated zone for the
internet domain it belongs to. Verify that dynamic dns is enabled. Make
sure units on the network have computer accounts in Active directory.
Delete and recreate the computer accounts in Active directory if they still
do not connect after verifying the configuration. Make sure client units
have correct dns addresses.
Post again and let me know if that solves it.
