DNS on server 2003

Hello...I'm having a problem while configuring dns on my windows server 2003...Could not join domain on user's computer...Error: An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed...

I have a windows server 2003 sp2...
Ip 192.168.1.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (from my isp)
dns: 192.168.1.2 (I want to use my server as a dns server)
dns: 192.168.1.1

Can you please help me how to configure dns in this scenario..

Thanks

What is your client machines DNS settings. make sure it points to your DC and you can able to reach that by ping. Also check in the DNS your DC dns entry exist.

So 192.168.1.2 is not a domain controller yet?

logon to 192.168.1.2 and start dcpromo.exe ( I hope this is a lab).
It's a domain controller...and i have not chosen to install dns automatically..i have select to install dns later manually....
