As I previously said, this is a classic DNS misconfigurtion.

Pablo, you MUST remove any external DNS addresses FROM ALL OF YOUR MACHINES.
This includes the 127.0.0.1 and the 200.44.32.12 addresses. If this is your
only DNS server internally, then ALL machines (including domain controller,
clients, member servers, etc) must **ONLY** use this this internal DNS
server, whicih according to the output above, it must only show
192.168.70.10 on ALL machines.

If you would like efficient Internet access, follow my previous post on how
to configure a forwarder.

Once these changes I suggested have been performed on ALL machines (remove
the external addresses too from your DHCP scope), restart the netlogon
service on the DC, and please post back with an updated netdiag /v /fix.

Please also post an unedited ipconfig /all from this DC and from a client
too. I would like to take a closer look at your systems' configuration.

Thanks,
Ace
