No access to Win2003 domain

I am using a Win2003 server in the terminal server role. It is the PDC and the TS license server. I do not have any problem when connecting users through remote desktop. However, now that I need to connect a new server to it over the WAN and make the new server a DC, I discover that I have problems with it.

I placed the new server in the same LAN to make a quick transfer of DC info using DCPROMO. However, I cannot attach this computer to the domain. It keeps on saying "network path not found", "RPC error", "domain unaccessible", etc. After some reading, to my despair, I found out that the name I have given to the domain (DMZ) is not appropriate, as it is single-label (not so well supported in Win2003). I suspect this to be the reason for the problems.

The PDC server (named ibmts) has two NICs, each one looking to a different (disconnected) subnets. I am trying to attach the new server on the 192.168.4.2 side. The IP address at the other side is 192.168.1.2.

A DCDIAG gives nothing unusual. Below is the result of a NETDIAG for the DNS. Any help will be appreciated!
