An AD client MUST have DNS setup properly to "find" the AD domain.

The problem with trying to "FIND" the domain is based on DNS. If the
machines have your ISP's DNS address configured in their IP properties, as
Danny mentioned, then it will never "FIND" the domain.

If you can post an (*unedited*) ipconfig /all of your new domain controller
and from one of your clients, we will be happy to point to you exactly what
the problem is.
