another computer it says that i can't cause its already in use.

This is usually indicative of using an external DNS or some other DNS server
that is not hosting the AD zone name, (such as an ISP's), in the machine's
IP properties. It's imperative that all machines part of an AD domain are
ONLY using the internal DNS server that AD and the other machines are using.
This should be true for ALL machines part of an AD domain (DCs, member
servers, clients, etc). If an external DNS is used, that does not have the
answer to "where is my domain?", since that data is only stored by the
internal DNS. Use a forwarder for efficient Internet name resolution.

Please assign a static IP address and use the domain DNS. Hope this will resolve your issue just it did for me.
