can't find domain name using name

Hi

I just installed first domain controller with DNS on it and named it test.com
and the computer name is first (first.test.com) and its ip is 192.168.1.2

But when I tried to join domain test.com with client computer, the client
computer could not find the test.com domain. Even though I configured the
client DNS to 192.168.1.2 manually.

If I ping first or first.test.com from the client computer then I got reply
with right IP
but if I pnig just test.com, I got timed out.

When you join the domain, you put domain name which is test.com not IP
address.

Please help me what I did wrong.

Thanks

Is the server using 192.168.1.2, only?

Run netdiag /fix from a cammand line.
