network policy/connectivity error

I'm having a little difficulty getting group policys/network drives to apply correctly after changing the subnet on my network. We went from a Class C 255.255.255.0 to Class B 255.255.0.0 network to support more computers...

I've updated the firewall, router, NIC card on the server, switches, ran ipconfig /release /renew on all the computers and still the errors. I verified both computers are on the same subnet 255.255.0.0.

I'm running server 2008 and haven't made any other changes since this happened. I'll paste code of the dcdiag below. The error I'm getting while trying to perform gpupdate /force is
User policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered:

The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to
 a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would
 be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group
 Policy has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for sever
al hours, then contact your administrator.
Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
ountered:

 Policy has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for sever

To diagnose the failure, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to access infor
mation about Group Policy results.

I'm pulling my hair out at this point because this doesn't make any sense. DNS is working fine across my network, I'm online and sending this message. :) DCDIAG looks fine... permissions on sysvol includes everyone read access...

BTW we have a sonicwall Tz210 we just installed monday as well...

domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain
hierarchy to use as a time source. It is recommended that you either configure a
 reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the AD PDC to s
ynchronize with an external time source. Otherwise, this machine will function a
s the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time sou
rce is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the N
tpClient.
