Pinging the domain Server

[Guest]

Running 2000 Domain with all service packs.
If I ping the netbios name of the domain server, I get a response.
If I ping the fully qualified domain name, I get the host cannot be resolved.

I then tried to add a dns record to the domain server (it is also a dns
server), and I received the following:
A domain by this name already exists, to create a record with this name,
select the domain and then create the record.

Any ideas?

Regards,

From where are you pinging? Make sure the DNS records for the clients
and servers all point to a DNS server that contains the Active
Directory information about your domain. Also, try nslookup to see if
the server will give you the right response:

server IP_of_server_in_question <enter>
FQDN_of_server_in_question <enter>

Does it give you the right answer?

I am pinging from my workstation. If I use NS lookup with the IP then I
receive the FQDN. If I use the FQDN then I get unresolved.

I have 2 dsn/domain servers on the same lan.

DNS suffixes set right / matching on all servers/clients? Is DHCP dishing
out the domain suffix properly?
