It is almost always a DNS problem -- but
before we discuss DNS in general, please note
that SINGLE LABEL zone/domain names are
a "bad thing" (TM) and it appears you have one of
those, i.e., JEWELCONSULTING rather than
JEWELCONSULTING.com or
JEWELCONSULTING.something

Google:
[ "SINGLE LABEL" domain names DNS 2000 | 2003 microsoft: ]

General Active Director DNS support requires:

DNS for AD
    1) Dynamic for the zone supporting AD
    2) All internal DNS clients NIC\IP properties must specify SOLELY
        that internal, dynamic DNS server (set.)
    3) DCs and even DNS servers are DNS clients too -- see #2

Restart NetLogon on any DC if you change any of the above that
affects a DC and/or use:

    nltest /dsregdns /server:DC-ServerNameGoesHere

Ensure that DNS zones/domains are fully replicated to all DNS
servers for that (internal) zone/domain.

Also useful may be running DCDiag on each DC, sending the
output to a text file, and searching for FAIL, ERROR, WARN.
