Cannot join domain...very odd

I am trying to get two XP SP2 workstations to connect to a domain called
test.local. Their IP is 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 (static). Their gateway
is left blank and their DNS entered is the IP address of the Domain
Controller hosting the test.local domain being 192.168.0.1.....but when I
try to connect these workstations to this domain the below error is being
encountered:


Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are
not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received
this information, which has been recorded in the file
C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location
(SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
test.local:

The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired."
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.test.local

The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not
responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the
following IP addresses:

192.168.0.1

Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the
correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is
running.

For more information on how to correct this problem, click Help.


In the past these two workstations were connected to a different domain
however at this moment they are set on a workgroup. These PCs don't have any
firewall software installed and other workstations can connect to the domain
without problems so the problem is related with these two particular
machines. Formatting the machines is not an option as they have a lot of
applications installed and data stored.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

regards

Are you "familiar" on how to "join" a domain? Usually, you must be an
"administrator" type account in XP and when requesting to access the
domain, you will need to log in as the network "administrator"
account. After, the normal users will be able to access the domain.

What if you manually create an 'A' record in DNS for the respective
machines?

You specified the DNS server but not any subnet mask... Usually the default
gateway is 192.168.0.1 on a home router. If a business network why are you
using such a terrible IP range?

As you have a lot of data on them & applications, back them up. Besides, the
user would be using a different domain profile
