I tried this and it did not help.

I downloaded NetDig. What should I be checking? It comes up with the IP of
the current domain controller as the "Server" which seems to be correct. I
typed in yahoo.com and the status comes back as NOERROR with a query time of
63ms and what appears to be a valid response. If I try to lookup any
machines in the current DC's domain (including the DC itself), I get a
failure:

The current DC is pingable by IP but not by name from the new DC.

I would like this to be a new domain in an existing forest.

I have no 1656 entries in the existing or (soon to be) new DC.

Thanks again!
