Do you have DNS setup correctly and what client are you using....you said
workgroup group ....you mean it was a workgroup before...you turned it into
a Domain...also under your clients DNS setting what is the IP pointing
to...it needs to point to the DC ip address..and the Dc needs to have its
dns seeting point to itself....Just some ideas

thanks
