Netlogon Errors after DNS & Active Directory Installation

[Chux]

All,

I have been trying to do this for some time now without
success.

RESOURCES:
1. I have a registered domain name but no websites yet.
2. I have the my ISP's DNS server IP addresses.
3. I have connection to the internet through my ISP
4. I have static IP addresses to be used for my exchange
server.
5. I have a Watchguard firebox II firewall.


MY AIM:
1. To use private IP addresses within my LAN through DHCP.
2. Setup a single site active directory domain with a
local DNS server to resolve local names, and my ISP's DNS
server for Internet name resolution.
3. Host my own Exchange 2000 server in house.


QUESTIONS:
1. What is the proper way for me to use the domain name I
registered to setup my DNS and AD services.
2. What is the best way to use my ISP's DNS IP addresses,
considereing the above situation.
3. What is the process for setting this up without having
net logon errors.

NB: I have carried out all recomendations that I could
find on Microsoft website but somehow, am still unable to
do this right.

Please any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi . Thank-you for your post.

These three articles should cover all the bases:

You may also have to configure your firewall to allow DNS queries out and
the DNS responses into your network. Consult your firewall documentation
for these details.
