I originally tried to rejoin a computer to a network which led to a "cannot find domain" error. The username/password box don't even come up.
some tests i ran:
I can ping the server, however I can't ping the domain name domain1.local.
nslookup can't find the domain either. It looks to the isp's dns instead of my own to resolve the local machines.
So i go to the dns and run netdiag.exe and gives me this error.

Although the Guid DNS name

be resolved, the server name (srv.domain1.local) resolved to
the IP address (192.168.1.21) and was pingable. Check that the IP
address is registered correctly with the DNS server.

from previous postings, I've tried adding the domain suffix to the nic ip properties to both the client machine and the dc server which didn't help.
note: there is only one nic on the server
any ideas? thanks in advance
