Netlogon Errors After DNS and Active Directory Installation

All,

I have been trying to do this for some time now without
success.

RESOURCES:
1. I have a registered domain name but no websites yet.
2. I have the my ISP's DNS server IP addresses.
3. I have connection to the internet through my ISP
4. I have static IP addresses to be used for my exchange
server.
5. I have a Watchguard firebox II firewall.


MY AIM:
1. To use private IP addresses within my LAN through DHCP.
2. Setup a single site active directory domain with a
local DNS server to resolve local names, and my ISP's DNS
server for Internet name resolution.
3. Host my own Exchange 2000 server in house.


QUESTIONS:
1. What is the proper way for me to use the domain name I
registered to setup my DNS and AD services.
2. What is the best way to use my ISP's DNS IP addresses,
considereing the above situation.
3. What is the process for setting this up without having
net logon errors.

NB: I have carried out all recomendations that I could
find on Microsoft website but somehow, am still unable to
do this right.

Please any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Say your domain is xyz.com
Say your ISP's DNS is 199.199.199.199
You have a connection implies you have a router : Say it's 192.168.1.1
Mails addressed to (e-mail address removed) should be forwarded to port 25 of any IP
device carrying IP address 199.199.111.111 (which could be your Public IP
address)
I will assume you know how to dig thru your firewall as required
Your server is 192.168.1.10

Setup a DHCP server 192.168.1.0/24, options 003, 006, 015
003 : Router, 192.168.1.1
006 : 192.168.1.10
015 : xyz.com, as previously declared during AD setup.

Setup a DNS server. It will be automatically created during AD setup.
Allow dynamic updates
Create a reverse lookup zone, 1.168.192-in-addr-arpa, etc... (easy wizard, 5
clicks)
Right click your DNS server, properties, Redirectors, enter one single
address : 199.199.199.199
Edit your server's IP properties. Set his DNS Server as himself,
192.168.1.10
Add as many hosts as you may want (printers for example)

Should work fine
