I didn't quite follow what you were describing below, but... DNS configuration is the most likely suspect. One of the first things to verify would be to ensure the client is configured to only point to a DNS server(s) that can resolve records in the Domain's DNS zone. Barring that, you'll also need to confirm your DC's are also properly configured, their records exist in DNS, etc.
