How do I configure SonicWall TZ 180 Firewall to allow domain access

I bought a SonicWall Firewall TZ 180 and everything seems to be working fine...internet access, firewall config portal etc ...except when I try to join computers to the domain.  I'm getting the Mgs " The following error occured attempting to join the domain ADS. The network path  was not found"  I can ping the domain by name ( Netbios) and by the IP address from anywhere in the LAN, but I can't join any computer to the domain.  All the necessary ports on the firewall are open..  
Netbios 136 tcp/udp, 138 udp, 139 tcp
DNS 42, 53 tcp/udp
LDAP 389 tcp
LDAPS 636 tcp
Kerberos 88, 464, 749, 750 tcp/udp
microsoft-DS 445 tcp/udp
Wins 1512 tcp/udp
But, I can't find the solution.  Any suggestions\ideas will greatly help.  post a question if need be.
P/S:  Network enviroment is AD 2003.

Here is my network physical connection:

and the connecting to
>Lynksys 8-port HUB/switch to the LAN. A solid Link/ACT  light indicating  a connection is present between two devices.
Question:
- Do you have DNS sever set up on SonicWall? Yes
- DHCP server set up?  Not on  SonicWALL  but AD acting as a local DNS and DHCP SERVER.
- Did you check the firewall log to see there is error?
The logs seem normal-no errors.. only network traffic..here are the logs files..........

I go through same old My Computer Properties>Computer Name>Change >Click on the Radio button Domain......type in the name DOM ADS> admin account and password> Welcome to ADS DOMAIN and finally reboot done.
I have not read any Microsoft text recommending of maually creating a computer on the domain before adding to it.
One thing you mentioned was the DNS on the SonicWall is not a local DNS,  but it's a public dns provided by my ISP.  My local DNS is on my AD.   Could there be  a conflict between the local dns and the public dns ??

It was a very simple problem that I overlooked.  The File and print services on the DC was disabled.  After enabling the service the DC is accessible and joining the domain takes  seconds.
Thanks.
