Setting up my new domain

I have started a new domain on my 2003 server
called it win2003 and set the dns to point to itself. all is good
when i do a nslookup i get the right results its points to the right IP i mean.
But I cant access the server from other clients. I cant even ping the server.
the server is joined to my network with a billion 701 voip/modem/router.
Should I point the server to my ISP DNS? Im very confused with this

Local gateway is i92.168.1.254, server is i92.168.1.8, was acting as a local server no DC, and all was good
No firewall on the server, I cant ping that bad boy, from other comps in the network. therefore I cant join the domain either, it is my first Domain so am worried I made a mistake somwhere. there are 2 network cards in the server, although 1 is disables, I plan to hook the adsl modem into the second card, its a mystery

this turns out to be a windows firewall problem and SP1. When I try to acces the firewall it said it was not able to start. I presumed this was because it was disabled. I know that you guys could not correctly answer this due to me giving you incorect information
I searched the web to solve that problem and Voila it solved this problem as well, I can now ping the server and connect to the domain.
also nslookup returns the right information
