re-adding a server to a domain fails

Hi,
simple LAN, 2 servers both windows2003 + sp1, A is domain (blabla.net)
controller, B is not, each has 2 NICs one for LAN the other connects to the
router (Wan). B was added to domain apparently successfully but few things
seemed missing such as I could not list domain users (defined on controller
A) from B.
I removed B from domain to workgroup, stopped and restarted it, and now I
cannot add it back to the domain. the error is "the specified server cannot
perform the requested operation". Any Ideas?
Thanks

It seems to me you have name resolution issue because of multihomed computers. Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

I removed the second NIC from the PDC (now it is not multi-homed) but the
other computer cannot join the domain, the same error is being raised.Any
ideas how to resolve this?
