DNS in AD

[Guest]

I believe my DNS servers are configured incorrectly, first off I can not ping my domains, ie. etcetera.com.mx. yet I can ping my domain servers. Second off in AD Domains and trusts, I recieve the folling error while trying to view the properties of another trusted domain. "The active directory object could not be displayed" "A referral was returned from the server"

Yep, sounds like bad DNS.

Check to make sure Automatic Updates are enabled on the zone, and then
perform the following from the command prompt on a DC (assuming your DC is
pointing to an internal DNS server, i.e. itself, or another DC, etc.):

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns
C:\>net stop netlogon
C:\>net start netlogon
C:\>ipconfig /registerdns

Give that several minutes (15 if you've several DCs in the same site) and
then, providing you've got the RK installed, type the following at a command
prompt:

C:\>netdiag /test:dns

Also try

C:\>nltest /dsgetdc:<FQDN> (e.g. nltest /dsgetdc:etcetera.com.mx

Check your event logs. If there are any warnings issues in the DNS or
Directroy Services Logs that you think pertain to this issue, post them.
