Hi
I just recently built up a new Windows 2003 server w/SP2 as a domain
controller running AD, DNS and DHCP, but I'm unable to add a computer
to it. When I do an nslookup I get this output:
DNS request timed out
timeout was 2 seconds
Can't find server name for address 6.6.6.6
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 6.6.6.6
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure that 6.6.6.6 is the address of your DNS/DC ?

Yes, that is definitely the IP address of my DNS/DC. I can ping the
IP address from the remote computer, but I can't ping the computer
name. On the domain controller, what should be used for the DNS
address under network configuration?

Try to ping FQDN (i.e. dc.example.com vs dc). If you can ping FQDN, than
your workstation's DNS suffix differs from DC's one. But this is not an
issue, when you joining computer to domain. BTW what domain name you
type whrn trying to join? NetBIOS name or DNS name?
And what error you see, when trying to join?

You can (should) leave this field blank. Windows will automatically
assume that it should use local DNS server for name resolution.

The above message is one that nslookup gives you when it cannot find a PTR
record for the DNS server's IP address, and has no direct relationship to
being able to join a computer to an AD Domain.
What would have a relationship is if 6.6.6.6 is the actual IP address of
your DC, because it is a public IP address owned by the US Army.
Make sure DC uses its own address for DNS and all clients use the DC for
DNS.
Check that your DNS have a zone for the name of the AD domain, e.g.
domain.com, and that zone should likely also have a delegation named _msdcs,
and an additional zone named _msdcs.domain.com.
To stop the Message above create a reverse lookup zone and PTR for the
DC/DNS IP address.

The server you set up to host the DNS zone for your AD domain should point
to it's own IP address for DNS. This will allow this server to register it's
SRV records in that zone so when you point your AD clients to that server
for DNS they will find the SRV records they MUST find in order to "find" the
domain.
For Internet access set up your AD DNS server to forward requests and list
your ISP's DNS server as the forwarder, or you can use root hints.
